GenTegra RNAssure

The GenTegra RNAssure elution tube is a robust and reliable protection product that utilizes GenTegra’s proven, patented Active Chemical Protection™ (ACP) chemistry to protect RNA against all RNases as well as exposure to oxidation. Maximum RNA protection is achieved by treating purified RNA samples with RNAssure as soon as they are isolated. With RNAssure, RNA can be protected even at room temperature, eliminating the concern that RNA may degrade during every day experimental protocols or due to catastrophic freezer failure. RNAssure can protect RNA for at least 3 days at room temperature or 2 weeks at 4°C.

GenTegra’s RNAssure can easily be integrated into most column-based extraction and purification kits. Just follow these steps:

1. During the final elution step, insert the spin column into the RNAssure Elution Tube.
2. Add the elution buffer to the column.
3. Centrifuge samples per manufacturer’s instructions. Then, remove and discard the column.
4. Purified RNA is now protected by RNAssure for at least 3 days at room temperature.
