Remove genomic DNA contamination before RT-PCR analysis

 No RNA isolation procedure yields RNA that is completely free of  genomic DNA contamination without DNase treatment. Ambion's  DNA-free(TM) DNase Treatment & Removal Reagent simplifies the  elimination of genomic DNA contamination from RNA without organic  extractions or heat inactivation for DNase removal.
