Are IDT oligos DNase and RNase free?
All of the custom DNA and RNA oligonucleotides that IDT offers are synthesized chemically, not enzymatically. As a result, there should not be DNase or RNase present.
It is worth noting that there are abundant nucleases present in most environments, so good laboratory practice is very important to minimize potential exposure. IDT also offers RNaseAlert® and DNaseAlert™ substrates to help identify nuclease degradation.
