Clear, Colorless Liquid

Water, DEPC-Treated, is a DEPC(Diethylpyrocarbonate)-treated and sterile filtered water. DEPC inactivates RNase enzymes in water by covalent modifications of the histidine residues. Water, DEPC-Treated is used for the reconstitution of lyophilized products such as oligomers, proteins, and siRNA

Applications
_x000D_ WATER, DNase, RNase-Free, is designed for those critical applications where DNase and RNase contamination can be serious problems.

Preparation Method
_x000D_ Deionized water treated with 0.001% diethylpyrocarbonate (DEPC). Filtered through 0.2 micron filter and autoclaved to yield a sterile solution completely free of detectable DNase (both exo and endo) and RNase.

Synonyms: Distilled water, hydrogen oxide, Deionized water, Purified water, Dihydrogen Monoxide, DHMO
