RNase A, >5,000 U worthinton/mg, 10mg/mL

Unit definition:
One unit of the enzyme causes an increase in absorbance of 1.0 at 260 nm when yeast RNA is hydrolyzed at 37 °C and pH 5.0. 50 units are approximately equivalent to 1 Kunitz unit.

Note: One Kunitz unit equals to 50 Worthington units.

– 1 mL RNase A Solution (10 mg/mL)

• Removal of RNA during DNA purification.

• Plasmid and genomic DNA preparation.

• RNA structural analysis.

• Hybridization assays.

• Each lot is tested for activity, concentration, and absence of DNase and protease contamination.

• Avoid introducing RNase A into RNA workflows to prevent unwanted degradation.

• Use recommended aliquots to minimize freeze-thaw cycles.

• Inactivate enzyme when required by heating or chelation.

• Shipped in: Gel pack.
• Storage: RNase A solutions retain enzymatic activity at room temperature or 2-8 ºC for extended periods. However store at –20 ºC in a freezer without a defrost cycle is recommended. Avoid freeze/thaw cycles.
