Can I clean my bench with ethanol to remove RNase activity?

05 October 2017 1 2K Report

I am wondering if cleaning my bench with ethanol is sufficient to remove RNase activity. Or should I use products like RNase ZAP?

Flavia Zita Francies

I'd suggest that you rather use commercially available products like "RNase AWAY" or "RNase ZAP" for effective cleaning. I'm not sure if ethanol will do the job 100%.
