Description
These gloves are specially tested and certified to be free of all RNase and DNase contamination. Our RNase-free gloves protect RNA from degradation, unlike latex gloves which often contain significant levels of RNase contamination as shown in the figure.
Made of high quality nitrile, these RNase-free gloves have a fully textured surface for easier gripping of objects and are powder-free to help reduce the risk of skin irritation. Available in extra-small, small, medium and large sizes.
Research and Development
with MO BIO RNase-Free Gloves
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
To determine the effect of handling RNA with standard latex gloves versus MO BIO RNase-Free gloves, an RNase detection assay was performed. Briefly, an extraction procedure is done on standard latex gloves and RNase-Free gloves by applying an aliquot of certified, RNase-Free Tris buffer to the gloves and pipetting up and down several times. This ensures that the Tris buffer has been in complete contact with the surface of the gloves. This extract is then added directly to an intact, 7 kb mRNA fragment and incubated for 1 hour. The RNA is then analyzed by electrophoresis on a native agarose gel. Visible degradation and loss of RNA is observed when using standard latex gloves.
