[/INST] RNases are enzymes that can degrade RNA molecules, and their presence in a lab can lead to the degradation of RNA samples and interfere with experiments. To maintain an RNase-free environment in a lab, here are three tips:

Cleanliness and organization: Keep the lab clean and well-organized. Use a dedicated workspace for RNA work, and regularly clean all surfaces and equipment with RNase-free solutions, such as 70% ethanol or RNase AWAY. Avoid clutter on the workspace to minimize contamination, and use disposable lab coats, gloves, and pipette tips.

Separate RNA work from other lab activities: Keep RNA work separate from other lab activities that may involve RNases, such as protein work or DNA work. Use separate equipment and reagents for RNA work, and avoid using common storage areas for RNA samples.

Use RNase-free reagents and equipment: Use only RNase-free reagents and equipment for RNA work. Purchase RNase-free water, buffer, and chemicals, and use sterile, RNase-free plasticware and glassware for all RNA-related procedures. Autoclave or treat all reusable equipment, such as pipettes and centrifuge tubes, to eliminate RNase contamination.</s>
