FluxMPS™ UltraClean GuardRNA DMSO Lysis Buffer
FluxMPS™ UltraClean GuardRNA DMSO Lysis Buffer is a ready-to-use, phenol-free, RNase-safe lysis reagent built around a strong anionic detergent, high ionic strength, and DMSO to penetrate and solubilize tough cell walls and membranes.

Engineered where standard lysis buffers fail
Conventional 0.22 µm-filtered lysis reagents can carry subvisible particulates, inconsistent ionic strength, and residual bioburden into RNA workflows, elevating background and risking RNase carry-over. FluxMPS™ GuardRNA DMSO Lysis Buffer is built to remove those variables before the sample ever sees a purification column.
RNase-safe purity
Quadruple-stage filtration to a final 0.04 µm pore size reduces particulate and bioburden carry-over before lysis.
Defined, stable pH
Supplied at pH 7.5 with 0.5 M NaCl for consistent, high ionic strength lysis conditions lot to lot.
Ultrapure-grade water
Formulated to volume with ultrapure, nuclease-free water to protect RNA integrity during extraction.
Low-background, phenol-free workflow
Avoids phenol/chloroform extraction, simplifying handling and reducing background for downstream RNA-based assays.
Defined, traceable composition
A lot-released SDS, NaCl, and DMSO formulation with every component and concentration documented.
Customization on demand
Alternative concentrations, additional chemicals or supplements, and different pH values available on request.
Quadruple-stage filtration system
Every lot of GuardRNA DMSO Lysis Buffer passes through 0.1 µm membrane filtration twice followed by 0.04 µm membrane filtration twice, delivering a sterile, ultrapure buffer engineered for RNase-safe, low-particulate RNA extraction.
-
1
0.1 µmPre-filtration I
Removes large particulates and aggregates, protecting downstream filters and extending their working life.
-
2
0.04 µmPre-filtration II
Retains fine particulates and bioburden ahead of the final sterile-filtration passes.
-
3
0.1 µmSterile-filtration I
A second 0.1 µm pass provides redundant particulate and bioburden clearance.
-
4
0.04 µmSterile-filtration II — Final Polish
A second 0.04 µm pass delivers the final polish, filling the buffer under aseptic conditions.
Performance vs. conventional buffer
Sequential 0.1 µm and 0.04 µm filtration, each applied twice, removes finer particulates and bioburden than a single 0.22 µm pass used in conventional lysis reagents, supporting cleaner, lower-background RNA extraction.
