ITSIprotect RNA (K-0060)

ITSIprotect RNA (Cat No. K-0060) is a formulation developed for protection of RNA while working in the laboratory or when shipping it for sequencing, RNA-seq, microarrays, qPCR or other downstream applications. The product prevents RNA breakdown while it is in the lab, during shipment and when stored.

ITSIprotect RNA is water soluble and is based on GenTegra Active Chemical Protection™. When added to RNA it forms a protective matrix that preserves and protects RNA in the liquid state and in the dry state. When dry the protection is near perfect at extremes of temperature (-80°C to +72°C) for years.

The protection is unmatched when it comes to protecting against the temperatures encountered when shipping purified RNA samples. Independent studies utilizing the active compound show ITSIprotect-RNA protection is better than shipping on dry ice.

ITSIprotect-RNA provides immediate protection against RNase activity before flash freezing and allows the use of all standard buffer systems. ITSIprotect RNA begins protecting your RNA the instant it is added to the RNA solution and protects RNA in liquid form for up to four days at room temperature and when dry for decades. Save on packaging and shipping when you use ITSIprotect RNA.

All ITSIprotect RNA products have a shelf life of >3-years at ambient temperatures.

Key attributes
