Product Description
Samples collected today can still reflect their true biology weeks from now. DNA/RNA Shield from Zymo Research stabilizes DNA and RNA in virtually any biological sample at ambient temperature, preserving genetic integrity and expression profiles so you are free from the logistics of immediate freezing or processing.
This listing is for catalog number R1100-250: DNA/RNA Shield, 250 mL. Add the reagent to tissue, cells, swabs, fluids or other specimens and it immediately protects nucleic acids while completely inactivating viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites for safer handling and shipping. It also shields samples from damage caused by freeze-thaw cycles or unexpected freezer failures. Available as a 1X solution in 50 ml and 250 ml or as a 2X concentrate in 25 ml and 125 ml. LIGHT LABS stocks the Zymo Research line, so kits, buffers and refills are always within reach.
