Contaminant DNA is especially problematic in the highly sensitive PCR technique, as its removal has proven to be no trivial matter. Originating from aerosolized fragments, contaminant DNA can lead to cross contamination between samples thus resulting in inaccurate data or PCR artefacts. Even a single DNA molecule can be detected in the amplification process leading to widespread problems throughout the testing procedure.
PCR Clean™ is ready-to-use solution for eliminating DNA from any surface. DNA is removed within seconds after use. The PCR cleaning solution contains a surfactant and a non-alkaline and non-carcinogenic agent. PCR Clean™ is intended for use at PCR workstations, lab devices, pipettors, etc.
Benefits
PCR Clean™ is effective against amplicon, plasmid, or genomic DNA and RNA from most surfaces with the exception of light or non-ferrous metals.
Convenient and ready-to-use
PCR Clean™ is ready-to-use for eliminating DNA and RNA from suitable surfaces.
Fast and easy decontamination
The use of PCR Clean™ both before and after PCR analysis is fast, easy and ideal to maintain a clean work area and thereby saves time and expenses.
Stable
PCR Clean™ is heat resistant and stable for several years.
Recommended Use / Scope
Applicable in research and industry only. Not recommended for clinical applications. Use as directed. PCR Clean™ should be applied on glass, ceramic, plastic, rubber, steel and precious metal. PCR Clean™ cannot be used for the cleaning of light or non-ferrous metals. To avoid damage or discoloration, it is recommended to spot test sensitive surfaces prior to use.
