RNase Assay: Incubation of a 10 μl reaction containing 5 µl of 2X RNA Loading Dye with 40 ng of 300 base RNA transcript for 16 hours at 37°C resulted in no detectable degradation of RNA as determined by denaturing PAGE analysis.
Endonuclease Assay: Incubation of a 10 µl reaction containing 5 µl of 2X RNA Loading Dye with 300 ng of supercoiled plasmid for 16 hours at 37°C produced less than 10% nicked or linear molecules as determined by agarose gel electrophoresis.
Protocol
Add sample to an equal volume of RNA Loading Dye, (2X). Mix well.
Heat at 65–70°C for 5–10 minutes to denature RNA.
While heating the samples, setup the gel box and flush urea out of the wells with running buffer using a large tip.
Load samples.
For Non-denaturing PAGE/Agarose Gel:
Use protocol described above, but do not heat the samples

Usage notes:
RNA Loading Dye, (2X) is conveniently supplied in 4 tubes. The dye can be stored at room temperature for a week, at 4°C for a month and at -20°C for 2 years.
The dye can also be used as a stop solution for enzyme reactions. After mixing, the samples can be stored at -20°C for at least 3 days before gel analysis.
