THE Ambion® RNA Storage Solution is a buffer that provides greater RNA stability than standard 0.1 mM EDTA or TE Buffer. This 1 mM sodium citrate, pH 6.4 +/- 0.2 buffer is provided in one bottle containing 50 mL. The last step in every RNA isolation protocol is to resuspend the purified RNA pellet. After painstakingly isolating the RNA, it is crucial that the pellet be suspended and stored in a safe, RNase-free solution. THE RNA Storage Solution has two features that minimize base hydrolysis of RNA: a low pH, and sodium citrate, which is an efficient chelating agent. THE RNA Storage Solution i...

Using restriction enzymes to clone your gene into an expression vector often forces you to compromise the final sequence of your insert (Figure 1A), especially when there are no useful restriction sites close to your genes coding sequence. This may result in suboptimal spacing of expression elements or incorporation of non-native amino acid residues, which can reduce your expression levels and/or cause the production of non-functional protein. In addition to being a more effective way to clone, TOPO® Cloning eliminates these potential expression problems. TOPO® Expression Vectors enable you to...
