UltraNuclease, also known as a non-restrictive endonuclease, broad-spectrum nuclease, is a non-specific endonuclease derived from Serratia Marcescen, which hydrolyzes internal phosphodiester bonds between any nucleotides in nucleic acids to produce 5'-monophosphate oligonucleotides of 2-5 bases in length. It can degrade DNA and RNA in various forms (double-stranded, single-stranded, linear, circular, native or denatured) under a very broad range of conditions (6 M Urea, 0.1 M Guanidine HCl, 0.4% Triton X-100, 0.1% SDS, 1 mM EDTA, 1 mM PMSF) and is widely used to remove nucleic acids from biological products. UltraNuclease can also be removed by corresponding methods subsequently.

This kit uses the principle of double-antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (sandwich ELISA) to detect the residues of denatured and non-denatured UltraNuclease. First, coat the microplate with an anti-UltraNuclease rabbit polyclonal antibody to form a solid-phase antibody. Second, add UltraNuclease standard and test sample to the solid-phase antibody microplate, then add biotin labeled Anti-UltraNuclease polyclonal antibody, and finally, add horseradish peroxidase-labeled streptavidin (SA-HRP) to form an antibody + antigen + antibody-Biotin + SA-HRP complex. Subsequently, TMB substrate was added to the complex to observe color reaction after washing the complex. TMB is converted into blue under the catalysis of HRP enzyme and finally converted into yellow in the presence of acid, and the shade of color is positively correlated with the amount of UltraNuclease in the sample.

The detection quantification range of this kit is 0.047-3 ng/mL; the lower detection limit is 23.5 pg/mL.

Feature

• Highly sensitive: Detecting as little as 23 pg/ml of UltraNuclease residuals in in-process and final biological samples.
• Ensures accuracy: The UltraNuclease residuals can be accurately detected with a recovery of 80%-110%.
• Specificity: Cooperate use with YEASEN UltraNuclease and can accurately detect the residuals.
• Stable: The difference between lot-to-lot is low, the kit property is not impacted under 37℃ for 6 days.
• Easy signal collection: Using Biotin-Streptavidin system, the signal can be stably enlarged.
• Complete kit: All key components are provided in the kit, it’s Cost-effective for use.

Application

• Residual UltraNuclease test in biological products

UltraNuclease was spiked at 1.5 ng/mL into 5 μg/mL cell lysis solutions (HEK293, E. coli, CHO, and Vero) independently. In an actual client-provided sample, UltraNuclease was spiked and serially diluted two-fold from 3 ng/mL to 0.093 ng/mL. Spike recovery ranged between 80% and 110%.
