Formaldehyde-free RNA kel kit offers a safer alternative to formaldehyde-containing agarose gels for denaturing electrophoresis of RNA. The kit provides a non-volatile substitute for formaldehyde as well as a non-mutagenic RNA stain, which eliminates the need for ethidium bromide staining.
The non-volatile denaturing agent included in the Formaldehyde-Free RNA Gel Kit effectively eliminates RNA secondary structure to ensure optimal resolution during electrophoresis. Gel pouring and running procedures can be safely performed on the bench top in the absence of a fume hood. Extended incubations and buffer recirculation during electrophoresis are unnecessary since glyoxal, another common RNA denaturant, is not a component of the kit.
- Hood-free pouring and running-completely formaldehyde-free
- Denature and stain samples in a single step
- Instant band visualisation
- Compatible with downstream applications including Northern blots
- Post-run staining and destaining are eliminated

The 2X Formaldehyde-Free RNA Gel Loading Buffer reduces the number of steps required for sample preparation and post-run band visualisation. A non-mutagenic, fluorescent dye, included in the loading buffer, stains RNA during the denaturation step and comigrates with it during electrophoresis. Bright green bands can be visualised by standard UV transillumination immediately after electrophoresis without further processing. The 2X loading buffer may also eliminate the need to concentrate samples by precipitation since a larger sample volume can be applied to the gel.
