RNasin®: The Most Trusted Name in RNase Inhibition
Promega RNasin® Ribonuclease Inhibitors are the gold standard for RNase protection. RNasin inhibitors feature in many publications and are the most widely used protection against RNases worldwide. Use RNasin® Ribonuclease Inhibitors for RNA isolation, RT-PCR, in vitro transcription or any situation where RNase contamination is a concern.
RNasin® Plus RNase Inhibitor inhibits ribonucleases during reaction assembly. Heating of reactions to as high as 70°C for 15 minutes does not result in reappearance of ribonuclease activity, thus RNasin® Plus can be added prior to RT-PCR to offer enhanced protection of RNA during the reverse transcription reaction.
Features of RNasin® Plus Ribonuclease Inhibitor:
- Inhibits RNase A, B and C as well as human placental RNase.
- Does not inhibit other RNases and modifying enzymes like reverse transcriptases.
- Results in higher yield in RNA extractions and better performance in RT-PCR, cDNA synthesis, microarrays and in vitro transcription/translation
- Stable against oxidation and heat, leading to higher stability—up to 15 minutes at 70 °C.
- Particularly suitable for long-term storage of samples.
RNasin® Plus is Stable at Elevated Temperatures
RNasin® Plus RNase Inhibitor is a recombinant mammalian RNase inhibitor capable of inhibiting eukaryotic RNases, such as RNase A and RNase B, similar to the human version of the protein. Certain cysteine residues present in human placental RNase inhibitor have been implicated in the oxidation sensitivity of that enzyme (1). RNasin® Plus RNase Inhibitor does not contain these cysteine residues, which makes it more resistant to oxidative damage. RNasin® Plus RNase Inhibitor forms a stable complex with RNases, inactivating the RNase. This complex is stable at temperatures up to 70°C for at least 15 minutes (Figure 1).
RNasin® Plus has been tested in RT-PCR and, like the human protein, is compatible with enzymes like AMV, M-MLV or ImProm-II™ Reverse Transcriptases as well as Taq and Tfl DNA Polymerases. RNasin® Plus has also been tested and found to be compatible with quantitative real-time RT-PCR in a TaqMan® Assay, and can even preserve templates from degradation in a biological extract as complex as a rat liver protein extract, demonstrating a broad spectrum of RNase inhibition (2).
