Nucleoside Digestion Mix

We have used the Nucleoside Digestion Mix for every single analysis of analog incorporation into RNA. The reagents and protocol provide easy, quick and highly reproducible results to analyze nucleoside mixtures that begin with total RNA from cells.

I am very happy with the NEB Nucleoside Digestion Mix. Not only does it provide greater levels of digestion, but it allows me to degrade both DNA and RNA simultaneously.

We have used the digestion mix with a wide variety of different nucleotide analogs in both DNA and RNA and found it to work great. It has allowed us to develop new and powerful analytical tools that we now use as part of our continuing effort to optimize our semi-synthetic organisms with expanded genetic alphabets.
