West Nile Virus (WNV) belongs to the RNA virus family of Flaviviridae. It is known to spread primarily through arthropod vectors such as mosquitoes. The virus infects mainly birds but is also reported to infect humans as well as pets such as cats and dogs. In humans, the majority of the infections caused by WNV are asymptomatic. However, some individuals (the majority of the confirmed cases) could enter a second, febrile stage with flu-like symptoms – commonly known as West Nile Fever. In a more serious stage, the disease becomes neuroinvasive, causing meningitis or encephalitis. Such severe conditions could lead to mortality. As the symptoms of WNV are very similar to other common diseases but can be fatal at a severe stage, it is important to distinguish the virus early in the diagnosis, particularly at the molecular level.

PEG3-bis(Amino-Tri-(Propargyl-PEG2-ethoxymethyl)-methane) is a crosslinker consisting of six propargyl groups. The propargyl groups can form triazole linkage with azide-bearing compounds or biomolecules via copper catalyzed Click Chemistry. The hydrophilic PEG spacer increases solubility in aqueous media. Reagent grade, for research purpose.

Medium-Salt Active Nuclease High Quality (M-SAN HQ) is a Bioprocessing Grade nuclease developed for removal of both single and double-stranded DNA and RNA at the physiological salt conditions most often used in bioprocessing and biomanufacturing workflows. M-SAN HQ allows you to directly replace Benzonase without changing your workflow.
This novel, nonspecific endonuclease is active over a broad pH range and displays optimum activity at salt concentrations between 125 – 250 mM. Due to its excellent performance at physiological conditions, M-SAN HQ can be used directly in the cell medium or the harvested supernatant without buffer adjustments. This makes M-SAN HQ ideal for the manufacturing of fragile vectors such as lentiviruses and retroviruses.
M-SAN HQ can be directly used in medium without buffer adjustments The high activity of M-SAN HQ at standard cell medium conditions leads to improved DNA clearance compared to other commonly used nucleases. In the data (see Figure 6), an over 2-fold reduction in residual DNA was achieved.
Optimal activity at physiological salinity and pH makes it ideal for DNA removal from mammalian cell media. (see Figures)
The high activity of M-SAN HQ at the physiological salinity and pH found in standard cell medium conditions leads to improved DNA clearance compared to commonly used nucleases.
M-SAN HQ is uniquely formulated to excel in physiological pH conditions, offering high performance at the commonly used cell media pH of 7.4.
While other nucleases often require more alkaline environments, M-SAN HQ stands out for its adaptability and effectiveness in cell media. It’s the nuclease that truly aligns with your bioprocessing needs. (See Figure section)
