- protect viral RNA during in vitro virus replication
- inhibit RNases during RNA isolation and purification
- be used in RNase protection assays
- help prepare RNase-free antibodies
Specificity
Protector RNase Inhibitor (20 U/ 20 μl reaction) inhibits RNase A up to 1 ng, RNase B up to 160 pg and RNase T2 up to 0.03 U/μl reaction volume.

Application
Protector RNase Inhibitor may be used to:
- Protect mRNA in cDNA synthesis reactions, RT-PCR (in conventional thermal cyclers and qPCR systems), e.g., with the LightCycler® Instruments, in vitro transcription/translation system, RNase Protection Assay, in vitro RNA synthesis
- Protect viral RNA during in vitro virus replication
- Inhibit RNases during RNA isolation and purification
- Help prepare RNase-free antibodies
- Synthesize RNA probes for in situ hybridization
Features and Benefits
- Rely on a thermostable RNase inhibitor: Protector RNase Inhibitor remains stable even when using thermostable reverse transcriptases such as Transcriptor Reverse Transcriptase.
- Benefit from a wide range of reaction conditions: Protector RNase Inhibitor is active at pH 5.0 to 9.0 and at temperatures between +25°C to +55°C (partial activity is still measureable at +60°C).
- Eliminate interference in different RNA analysis applications: Maintain performance even when adding at 16-fold higher than the standard concentration.
- Insist on a highly-purified preparation: Each batch is function tested using techniques such as quantitative RT-PCR to ensure the absence of endonucleases, ribonucleases, or nicking activity, according to the current quality control procedures.

Protocols
The addition of Protector RNase Inhibitor to cell pellets is not recommended. Protector RNase Inhibitor as a 50kDa protein will most probably not permeate into intact cells. If the cell pellet is immediately frozen at -80 °C, this will be sufficient for stabilizing RNA. At -80 °C, Protector RNase Inhibitor is inactive.
