Standard precautions were undertaken to avoid contamination with RNases during the purification of total RNA [43].
In addition to the issues discussed, it is of obvious importance to stringently control contamination with RNases.
A contamination of the T7 RNA Polymerase with RNases would seem plausible, yet three arguments contradict this: (i) Commercial T7 RNA preparations are usually highly purified and tested for contamination with RNases.
