Hello all,
I've recently started doing the RNA-FISH technique but I have some doubts about
the reagents...
Here's a simple list of all reagents I need to use and all of them need to be
RNase free. I'm sorry I may sound a little newbie (that's because I am! LOL):
1. PBS 10X (Treated with DEPC and autoclaved afterwards);
2. SSC 20X (Treated with DEPC and autoclaved afterwards - I know that in this
concentration the enzyme is not active, but I'm willing to use it as a final
concentration of 2X, 1X and 0.5X);
3. HCl 2M and 0.2M (I don't have a stock of HCl RNase free, so I don't know if
it is necessary - or possible - to use DEPC and autoclave it afterwards);
4. PFA 4% in PBS1X (Also don't know if treatment is possible);
5. Formamide 50% in SSC2X (No clue!);
6. 0,5% Saponin; 0,02% BSA (I can't autoclave it, so can I add the BSA after
treating the solution?)
7. Proteinase K 1ug/ml in 500mM NaCl and 10mM Tris (This one, I'm sure I can't
treat with DEPC, any alternatives?)
Is it possible to treat them with DEPC and autoclave them? Am I doing anything
wrong? The water I use is RNase free and also the tips, tubes and glassware.
Thank you a lot for the patience and time!!
Sincerely,
Mariana Ferrarini.
