TCL016 is molecular biology grade sterile filtered water, treated with 0.1% Diethylpyrocarbonate(DEPC). It is prepared by passing water through continuous process which includes water pretreatment, reverse osmosis, deionization, and filtration. It is produced specifically for molecular biology applications like DNA/RNA purification, protein applications and experiments involving RNA. DEPC inactivates RNases by carboxylation of specific amino acid side chains in the protein.
