Thermo Scientific Gene Frame products feature a dual strength adhesive system which facilitates the easy removal of the frames after use. The adhesives on either side of the frame are of differing strengths; the side which adheres to the glass has an easy release adhesive whereas the reverse, which sticks to the coverslip, forms a stronger bond. This means that when the coverslip is removed, due to the disparity in the strengt…

Thermo Scientific RNAse Inhibitor specifically inhibits some of the most common types of RNases making it the perfect solution to protect your RNA. Thermo Scientific RNase Inhibitor is isolated by affinity chromatography from porcine livers. This enzyme acts on type A RNases (RNase A, B and C) and functions in any enzymatic reaction buffer with pH 5-8 (optimal activity is observed at pH 7-8). Porcine RNase Inhibitor does NOT i…

Thermo Scientific Exonuclease I digests single-stranded DNA 3' to 5' (requires Mg2+ and a free 3'-OH). The nuclease is inactivated by heating at 80°C for 15 minutes.

Thermo Scientific rDNase I is produced through a process that contains no animal by-products. The enzyme is provided free from any detectable RNase activity or animal derivatives. rDNase I has a molecular weight of approximately 30kDa. As an endodeoxyribonuclease, DNase I hydrolyses phosphodiester linkages yielding di-, tri-, and oligonucleotides with a 5' phosphate and a free 3' hydroxyl. DNase I has been shown to act on sing…

Thermo Scientific Shrimp Nuclease is an endonuclease that cleaves phosphodiester linkages in DNA to yield di- and oligonucleotides with 5’-phosphate and 3’-hydroxyl termini. The enzyme has a high preference for double-stranded DNA, and can be used to selectively degrade dsDNA, leaving ssDNA and RNA intact. The enzyme is inactivated after 15 minutes at 65 °C.

Thermo Scientific RNase A (ribonuclease A) is supplied as a chromatographically pure freeze-dried powder, salt-free for easy reconstitution in most buffers.

Thermo Scientific Ribonuclease H (RNase H) is an endonuclease that degrades the RNA portion of DNA-RNA hybrids. It hydrolyses phosphodiester bonds of RNA in RNA:DNA heteroduplexes. It produces products with 3’-OH and 5’-phosphate. RNase H will not degrade single or double-stranded DNA or RNA.
