FAQs

RiboShield™ RNase inhibitor is designed for use in RNA-sensitive applications such as RT-qPCR, cDNA synthesis and RNA-seq, where the presence of even small amounts of RNase can be detrimental to RNA quality and experimental outcome. In addition, it can also be added to extracted RNA to preserve RNA quality in areas with high likelihood of RNAse contamination or to RNA extraction buffers such as those used in Pereira et al., 2010, to help improve the preservation of RNA integrity as you progress through your workflow.
