SAN HQ – Peak performance at high salt conditions
Salt Active Nuclease High Quality (SAN HQ) is a Bioprocessing Grade nuclease developed as the most efficient solution for removal of both single and double stranded DNA and RNA at high salt conditions.
This nonspecific endonuclease has peak activity at salt concentrations between 400 – 700 mM (Fig. 1)
Non-enveloped viruses like Adenoviruses and Adeno-Associated Viruses (AAV’s) are inherently more robust with two distinct advantages: 1) They exhibit higher tolerance to additives like salt and detergents and 2) their production often involves the lysis of host cells, allowing for harvesting non-secreted vectors.
For Adeno-Associated Viruses (AAVs), which are often harvested from crude cell lysate, the high salt tolerance of SAN HQ is particularly beneficial. Salt is typically added to such lysates to reduce viral aggregation, facilitating more effective nuclease action to digest residual DNA.
SAN HQ’s is engineered for optimum activity in these high salt environments ensuring that you achieve unparalleled DNA removal without compromising the integrity of these robust viral vectors.
Key Benefits
Optimized Residual DNA Removal: Ensures efficient degradation of residual DNA in high-salt conditions, meeting stringent quality requirements for biologics and vaccines.
Boosted AAV Vector Purification: Enhances the purification process for adeno-associated viral vectors in high-salt conditions, improving quality and yield.
Streamlined Workflow: Eliminates the need for desalting stages, simplifying the bioprocessing protocol and saving time and resources.
Enable High-Throughput Processes: Facilitates scale-up and automation by working effectively in high-salt environments, increasing operational throughput.
Potential Surge in Virus Yield: Operates under conditions that may boost the titer yield of AAV production, potentially enhancing overall viral yield.
Economized Enzyme Usage: Reduces the need for excess enzyme and additional process adjustments, resulting in significant cost savings.
Minimized Risk of Process Disruptions: Offers reliable performance in various high-salt bioprocessing conditions, reducing the likelihood of disruptions due to enzyme inhibition.
Reliability: Provides consistent enzyme activity in challenging high-salt conditions, adding a layer of predictability and dependability to your operations.
Broader Applicability: Versatile enough to be used in a wide range of viral vector systems, expanding your research and production capabilities.
Enhanced Viral Stability: High-salt levels stabilize viral vectors, and SAN HQ operates effectively in these conditions, maintaining high yield and quality.
Host Cell Lysis: Facilitates efficient lysis of host cells in high-salt conditions, optimizing the harvest of both secreted and non-secreted viral vectors.

The Challenge in Removing Host Cell Chromatin Impurities
In bioprocessing, the primary role of a nuclease is to efficiently digest and fragment host-cell DNA into sufficiently small pieces, facilitating its removal during downstream processing. While most nucleases can effectively degrade naked DNA into tiny fragments under optimal conditions—as demonstrated by M-SAN HQ and SAN HQ, which can digest dsDNA into fragments smaller than 6 nt—the reality in bioprocessing is more complex. (See fig. 5)
The DNA targeted for removal often exists as chromatin, embedded in a complex matrix containing remnants of the lysed host cell as well as large amounts of the therapeutic product.The product may or may not have an affinity for the chromatin you aim to remove.
High salt is often applied to mitigate issues like aggregation. The real challenge lies in a nuclease’s ability to efficiently fragment chromatin under these more complicated, high-salt, conditions—not merely degrading naked DNA under ideal circumstances.
SAN HQ ELISA kit is developed for the detection and quantification of SAN HQ and SAN HQ GMP. The kit is designed as a classical sandwich ELISA, with two monoclonal antibodies specific towards SAN HQ nuclease (fig 6).

Urine DNA Isolation Kit for Exfoliated Cells or Bacteria
Product Info

Product Info
Overview
Isolate genomic DNA from either exfoliated cells or bacteria found in urine
Isolate and detect genomic DNA from as little as 1 mL of urine and up to 50 mL urine
High quality DNA for sensitive applications
Rapid processing time
Norgen’s Urine DNA Isolation Kit for Exfoliated Cells or Bacteria is designed for the rapid isolation of either: 1) human genomic DNA from exfoliated cells that have been shed into the urine from the urinary tract; or 2) bacterial genomic DNA from urine samples. The kit allows for the isolation of DNA from 1 to 50 mL of urine. The genomic DNA isolated from exfoliated cells can be used in a number of diagnostic and research applications including the diagnosis and monitoring of bladder, kidney, or other urinary-tract cancers. Bacterial genomic DNA from both human urine samples and urine samples from animals can be isolated with this kit in order to study the levels and types of bacteria that are present. The kit allows for the isolation of genomic DNA from both Gram negative and Gram positive bacteria, including E. coli, Proteus spp., Klebsiella spp., Enterobacter spp., Serratia spp., Pseudomonas spp, Clostridial ssp. and Leptospirosis spp.Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
Typical yields of human genomic DNA from exfoliated cells will vary depending on the cell density of the urine sample, which is affected by a number of factors including health, diet and sex of the individual donating the urine. Typical yields of bacterial genomic DNA will vary depending on the urine sample and the bacterial species, if any, present in the urine. Healthy humans generally have < 10, 000 CFU of bacteria per mL of urine, and this kit is sufficiently sensitive to isolate and detect DNA from even this minimal amount of bacteria. The genomic DNA purified with this kit is fully digestible with all restriction enzymes tested, and is completely compatible with downstream applications such as PCR, qPCR and Southern Blot analysis.

The Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is mainly transmitted via blood or blood products. In addition, sexual, oral and perinatal infections are also possible. Early symptoms of the infection include appetite loss, vomiting and abdominal symptoms, with approximately 10-20% of those patients developing fever as well as rheumatoid joint and muscle pain. Jaundice, which may be accompanied by itching, will then develop within 2-14 days. Fulminant hepatitis then occurs in about 1% of all infected patients, which in severe cases may be fatal. Of those individuals infected by HBV, 5-10% will develop chronic liver inflammation which may progress to cirrhosis of the liver or, in the worst case, primary liver cell carcinoma. The HBV virus is a hepadnavirus that has a circular genome composed of partially double-stranded DNA.
