Invitrogen™ DNAZap™ Solutions are a two-component, highly effective nucleic acid decontamination system engineered to eliminate DNA and RNA contamination from laboratory surfaces and equipment. When mixed, these otherwise innocuous solutions form a potent reagent capable of instantaneously degrading contaminating nucleic acids—even at levels detectable by sensitive PCR assays.
Unlike detergents or alcohol-based cleaners that merely displace nucleic acids, DNAZap™ chemically degrades DNA and RNA to nucleotides, ensuring no amplification occurs from residual contamination. DNAZap™ is safe for use on a wide variety of surfaces and tools, making it an ideal solution for PCR workstations, pipettors, microfuge tubes, thermocyclers, and benches.
Key Features and Benefits
- Powerful on Contact: Begins degrading DNA and RNA immediately when applied
- Exceeds PCR Sensitivity Thresholds: Eliminates nucleic acids down to levels undetectable by PCR
- Two-Part System: Components are safe when separate; powerful when combined
- True Degradation, Not Displacement: Breaks nucleic acids into nucleotides, preventing false positives
- Non-Inhibitory: Leaves no residual inhibition of downstream enzymatic reactions after rinsing
- Broad Compatibility: Use on plastic, metal, glass, and most lab surfaces
Recommended Applications
- Decontamination of PCR tubes, pipettes, and thermocyclers
- Cleaning RNA/DNA workstations
- Nucleic acid contamination control in molecular biology workflows
- Surface sterilization for high-sensitivity PCR/qPCR
- Prevention of cross-contamination in amplification reactions

- Allow the mixture to contact the surface briefly.
- Rinse thoroughly with nuclease-free water or buffer.
- Surface is ready for sensitive molecular applications.
Invitrogen™ DNAZap™ Solutions are a trusted choice for researchers performing ultra-sensitive nucleic acid amplification who require a truly clean environment. By completely degrading residual nucleic acids rather than displacing them, DNAZap™ helps eliminate false positives and ensures reliable PCR, qPCR, RT-PCR, and molecular assay performance across a wide range of lab conditions.
