- World’s cleanest RNase-safe buffer for RNA handling, cell, and molecular biology experiments
Description:
PVSA-PIPES, 1X is a ready-to-use, high-purity PIPES buffer formulated to be RNase-safe for sensitive RNA and DNA workflows in the mildly acidic to near-neutral pH range. It is supplemented with polyvinylsulfonic acid (PVSA), a potent polymeric RNase inhibitor that helps preserve RNA integrity during sample handling, processing, and short-term storage. The buffer provides the well-defined buffering characteristics of 1X PIPES, making it suitable for use with purified nucleic acids, RNA-containing samples, and cells in downstream molecular biology applications where PIPES is preferred as the buffering system.
Applications:
- RNA and DNA Resuspension: Resuspension and dilution of nucleic acids in a PIPES-based buffer with added RNase protection for storage or downstream analysis.
- RNA Handling and Short-Term Storage: Temporary storage of RNA-containing samples, lysates, or purified RNA where a Good’s buffer in the PIPES range is desired.
- Sample Preparation for Enzymatic Assays: Handling and transfer of nucleic acids prior to downstream applications (e.g., RT, qPCR, library prep), as compatible with the pH and ionic requirements of the enzymes used.
- Cell and Tissue Processing: Buffering solution for gentle handling or washing of cells and tissues in workflows where RNA integrity is important and PIPES is specified.
- General Molecular Biology: Any procedure requiring 1X PIPES with enhanced RNA protection under controlled pH conditions.
Advantages:
- RNase-Safe: PVSA provides robust inhibition of a broad spectrum of RNases, complementing nuclease?free techniques and reducing reliance on protein-based inhibitors.
- High Purity: Manufactured from molecular biology–grade PIPES and PVSA and finely filtered to minimize particulates, microbial contamination, and adventitious nucleases.
- Controlled pH Environment: PIPES buffering maintains a stable pH in its effective range during routine handling, supporting nucleic acid stability.
- Versatile Usage: Compatible with protocols that specify PIPES as the buffering system for RNA, DNA, or certain cell-based or biochemical workflows.
- Ready-to-Use 1X Solution: Supplied at working strength to reduce preparation time, variability, and contamination risk.
