The RNase-free DNase set comes lyophilized and is optimized for on-column digestion of DNA using PureLink protocols. The degree of DNA digestion performed by PureLink DNase is optional for most PureLinka RNA kits, due to the efficient removal of the majority of DNA by the PureLink technology; however, some downstream applications that are sensitive to small amounts of DNA may require further removal of DNA.
Advanced DNA Removal for RNA PurityThe PureLink DNase Set leverages recombinant enzyme technology to deliver efficient DNA degradation during RNA purification. Its gentle formulation safeguards RNA, making it suitable for downstream processes that demand high RNA purity, like RT-PCR, qRT-PCR, and Northern blotting. This set provides confidence that your results will be free from DNA contamination.
Easy Integration with RNA WorkflowsDesigned for compatibility with PureLink RNA Mini Kit and comparable systems, the DNase Set offers seamless integration into standard laboratory protocols. Shipped on dry ice, the reagents (enzyme solution and buffer) arrive ready for manual use, requiring minimal preparation and user intervention. Its clear to slightly yellow color confirms reliability and consistency.
Reliable and Safe Laboratory ReagentIntended for use in laboratory environments, the PureLink DNase Set is non-hazardous as per MSDS classifications, ensuring user safety. Its typical shelf life of one year supports efficient inventory management. Store the reagent at -20C to maintain enzyme activity for all 50 reactions in each set.
FAQ's of Thermo Fisher Scientific Invitrogen PureLink DNase Set:
Q: How do I use the PureLink DNase Set during RNA purification?
A: You can use the set by adding the provided DNase enzyme and buffer directly to your RNA sample after cell lysis and prior to RNA binding steps, following your kit's protocol. This ensures efficient removal of contaminating DNA before downstream applications.
Q: What applications benefit from using this DNase set?
A: The DNase set is particularly beneficial for RNA purification procedures preceding sensitive applications like RT-PCR, qRT-PCR, and Northern blotting, where DNA-free RNA is essential for accurate results.
Q: When should I perform DNase treatment in my RNA workflow?
A: DNase treatment should be executed after cell lysis but before RNA binding or elution during purification. Always refer to your RNA purification kit's specified steps for optimal timing.
Q: Where is the PureLink DNase Set compatible for use?
A: This set is compatible with the Invitrogen PureLink RNA Mini Kit and other similar RNA purification kits available in research and clinical laboratories.
Q: What process defines one Kunitz unit in this DNase set?
A: One Kunitz unit is defined as the amount of enzyme required to degrade 1 g of DNA in 10 minutes at 37C, ensuring consistency and reliable DNA removal during the treatment.
Q: Is the DNase set RNase-free, and how is this beneficial?
A: Yes, the set is RNase-free, preventing any degradation of RNA during DNA removal, which preserves RNA quality essential for downstream molecular biology techniques.
Q: What benefits does this DNase set provide over standard methods?
A: Compared to standard methods, it offers efficient and gentle DNA removal, is easy to use, highly compatible with RNA purification kits, and maintains the integrity of valuable RNA samples.
