nonRNasefree
nonRNasefree refers to materials, surfaces, reagents, or environments that are not free of RNase enzymes. RNases are enzymes that degrade RNA, and their presence can compromise RNA integrity in molecular biology workflows. In contrast, RNase-free items are specifically treated or manufactured to minimize or eliminate RNase activity, reducing the risk of RNA degradation during experiments such as RNA extraction, RT-PCR, and RNA sequencing.
The term nonRNasefree is most often encountered in laboratory settings where RNA work is conducted. Sources
To mitigate risks, laboratories typically rely on strict RNase-free handling practices. This includes using dedicated RNase-free
The term nonRNasefree is usually used descriptively to indicate absence of RNase-free status. It is generally
