Diethylpyrocarbonate

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific
Sourced in United States

Diethylpyrocarbonate is a chemical reagent used in molecular biology and biochemistry laboratories. It is primarily used as an inhibitor of RNase enzymes, which are responsible for the degradation of RNA molecules. Diethylpyrocarbonate irreversibly inactivates RNase enzymes, allowing for the preservation and analysis of RNA samples.

Samples were transported with sample coolers to the laboratory and processed within 24 h of sample collection. The water samples were filtrated onto 0.4-μm polycarbonate filters (as large volume as possible, 40–250 ml of effluents, and 50–600 ml of surface water) (Whatman Nuclepore Track-Etched Membranes, Sigma-Aldrich, United States). The membranes were frozen immediately after filtration and stored at −75°C or lower. A volume of 100 ml sterile-filtered water treated with diethyl pyrocarbonate (Invitrogen, Thermo Fisher Scientific, United States) was filtrated as negative filtration control. The fecal samples were distributed into 250-mg aliquots, frozen immediately, and stored at −75°C or lower.

The placental tissues were randomly collected from the central area of placenta and stored in liquid nitrogen. Total RNA was extracted from the placental tissue utilizing Trizol (Molecular Research Center Inc., Cincinnati, OH, USA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions with slight modifications. Briefly, after homogenization, the tissues were mixed with 1 mL of Trizol (Molecular Research Center Inc.) and allowed to stand for 10 minutes at room temperature. After adding 0.5 mL of chloroform (Sigma-Aldrich), the sample was then shaken vigorously for 10 seconds. It was then allowed to stand for 10 minutes at room temperature, followed by centrifugation at 13,000 rpm for 15 minutes at 4°C. The supernatant was transferred to a new tube and mixed with 0.4 mL of isopropanol (Merck, Kenilworth, NJ, USA) and allowed to stand at room temperature for 10 minutes. After centrifugation at 13,000 rpm for 15 minutes at 4°C, the RNA pellet was washed with 1 mL of 75% ethanol and centrifuged at 13,000 rpm for 5 minutes at 4°C. The RNA pellet was then air-dried for 10 minutes and dissolved in diethylpyrocarbonate-treated (Invitrogen) water at 65°C for 5 minutes. The total RNA was stored at –80°C until further analysis. The RNA was used to confirm the expression of mRNA and miRNA by gene array and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) analyses.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
