RUO: PL.5901R–PL.5903R · PCR: PL.5901–PL.5903
25 mL, 1 L, and 80 × 2 mL aliquot formats for PCR, RT-PCR, qPCR, and enzyme reaction setup. Available in Research Use Only (RUO) and PCR grades. Every lot is tested for absence of DNase and RNase activity. No DEPC.
Manufacturing-grade molecular biology water · per-lot release tested · factory-direct.
Same DEPC-free chemistry, same per-lot DNase + RNase release testing.
PCR Grade · PL.5903
Pre-portioned DNase/RNase-Free Water for PCR workflows that need small, ready-to-use volumes. Each box contains 80 × 2 mL aliquots of DEPC-free water, with per-lot DNase and RNase release testing.
DEPC (diethylpyrocarbonate) is the most common chemical treatment for nuclease removal — but DEPC residue is a documented inhibitor of downstream enzyme reactions, especially reverse transcription and in vitro translation. Most autoclave protocols are designed to convert DEPC to ethanol and CO2, but trace residue is a recurring debate in molecular biology literature.
Pro-Lab's process removes nucleases without DEPC — designed for labs running sensitive RT-PCR, qPCR, IVT, or library-prep workflows where residual chemistry could matter.
Every lot is manufactured under controlled conditions and tested to confirm absence of detectable DNase and RNase activity. Testing uses validated enzymatic assays with sensitivity appropriate for trace nuclease detection. Only lots that meet internal release specifications are approved for distribution.

No. Pro-Lab's process removes nucleases without DEPC or other chemical treatments.
Yes — each lot is tested for absence of detectable DNase and RNase activity using validated enzymatic assays before release.
15–30 °C (room temperature), in the original container, tightly closed and protected from contamination.
Yes. This is manufacturing-grade molecular biology water — designed for production-scale PCR / RT-PCR / qPCR, NGS library prep, QC labs, and in-line reagent prep. Every lot is release-tested for DNase and RNase activity; lot number and expiry are printed on every container; CoA is available on request by lot.
The IFU confirms lot-release testing for DNase and RNase activity, and the lot number and expiry are printed on the container. Contact support@pro-lab.us to ask which additional controlled documents are available for a specific lot.
Yes — 6× and 12× case quantities are tiered. Use the Get Volume Quote button.
