Yup, although it is an Ambion product and I am affiliated with Ambion. I
usually try not to advertise products here. We sell a product called
RNAsecure. It will kill the Ribonuclease dead at a concentration of RNase
10ng/ml. This is more than enough to nuke your RNA contamination. The
RNAsecure will not hurt downstream applications and is irreversible (and it's
cheap).

p.s. I apologize for the advert
