FAQs
What makes DEPC treated water different from regular distilled water?
DEPC treated water undergoes chemical treatment to inactivate RNases, making it safe for RNA work. Regular distilled water may contain trace RNases that can degrade RNA samples.
Can I use this water for DNA applications?
While primarily designed for RNA work, this water is also suitable for most DNA applications due to its high purity. However, for DNA-specific protocols, DNase-free water might be preferred.
How should I store DEPC treated water?
Store at room temperature (15-25°C) in its original container. Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use to prevent contamination.
Is this water autoclavable?
No, DEPC treated water should not be autoclaved as heat can reverse the DEPC treatment and potentially reintroduce RNase activity.
What’s the shelf life of this product?
When stored properly, this water maintains its RNase-free properties for at least 12 months from the date of manufacture.
