* The amount of DNA contamination is significantly reduced during on-column rDNase digestion. Anyhow, in very sensitive applications it might be possible to detect traces of DNA. The NucleoSpin RNA L system is checked by the following procedure: One million HeLa cells are subjected to RNA isolation according to the protocol. RNA eluate is used as template for PCR detection of a 1 kb fragment in a 30 cycle reaction. Generally, no PCR fragment is obtained if the rDNase is applied. However, a strong PCR fragment is obtained if rDNase is omitted. The eventuality of DNA detection with PCR increases with: ** Kits to be used for research purposes only |
