Product description
6-Fam-dArUdAdA-BHQ1: RNase-substrate
The oligonucleotide 6-Fam-dArUdAdA-BHQ1 is used as a substrate for a convenient proof of RNases. In inactivated state the quencher causes full extinction of the fluorescence of fluorescein. After digestion by the RNase, however, quencher and fluorophore are separated from each other and thus the fluorescence of the 6-Fam reporter can be detected at 520 nm.
