Invitrogen™ RNaseZap™ RNase Decontamination Solution

Invitrogen™ RNaseZap™ RNase Decontamination Solution is a highly effective, ready-to-use surface decontamination reagent specifically designed to eliminate RNase contamination from laboratory equipment and work surfaces. This powerful formula destroys RNase enzymes on contact, protecting sensitive RNA samples and ensuring reliable performance in downstream applications such as in vitro transcription, RNA purification, RT-PCR, Northern blotting, and RNase protection assays (RPAs).

RNaseZap™ combines three active RNase-degrading ingredients to achieve superior decontamination compared to other RNase cleaning solutions. It is safe for use on glass, plastic, countertops, pipettors, and even microfuge tubes, with no residual inhibition of enzymatic reactions.

Key Features and Benefits

• Complete RNase Removal: Effectively eliminates dried-on RNase A and high concentrations of contaminant enzymes.
• Safe on Common Lab Surfaces: Ideal for decontaminating pipettes, tubes, benchtops, and equipment surfaces.
• Superior to Competing Products: Proven to outperform similar decontamination reagents under high-contamination conditions.
• Enzyme-Compatible: Does not interfere with downstream RNA enzymatic workflows when rinsed with RNase-free water.
• Versatile Formats: Available in multiple volumes including individual 250 mL bottles and a 4 L bulk size.

How It Works

1. Spray RNaseZap™ onto the contaminated surface.
2. Let it sit for a few moments to act.
3. Rinse thoroughly with RNase-free water.

The product’s fast-acting chemical formulation penetrates and denatures RNases, reducing the risk of RNA degradation due to environmental contamination.

Recommended Uses

• RNA extraction and purification workflows
• RT-PCR and cDNA synthesis prep areas
• RNAseq and Northern blotting setups
• Pipette and glassware decontamination
• Microfuge tube pre-rinsing for RNA-sensitive assays
