General description

Our comprehensive portfolio of downstream process chemicals not only provides biopharmaceutical manufacturers with high-quality raw materials for production of classical and novel therapies, but also helps them get to market faster and simplify regulatory challenges. Ranging from non-GMP grades for low-risk application, to IPEC-PQG GMP for higher-risk applications, we have products covering all your manufacturing needs.
We offer a range of high quality critical raw materials plus the documentation and expertise to help our customers meet stringent regulatory requirements. Our SAFC® portfolio of high-quality products withstands strict quality control procedures.

Application

Benzonase® purity grade II (>90%) for biotechnology is the technical grade in our Benzonase® product portfolio. All Benzonase® endonuclease products share the same amino acid sequence (proven by LC-MS/MS mass spectrometry), robustness and activity. The technical grade can be used to optimize the production / testing process before using one of our GMP grade during verification and manufacturing process.
Used for the removal of nucleic acid from protein samples.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Digests native or heat-denatured DNA and RNA.
