HL-SAN – Heat-Labile Nuclease for DNA and RNA Removal

HL-SAN is a heat-labile, nonspecific endonuclease designed for the efficient degradation of single-stranded and double-stranded DNA and RNA in molecular biology workflows.

Its unique property of thermal inactivation allows it to be easily deactivated after use, leaving no enzymatic activity behind. This makes HL-SAN ideal for applications requiring ultra-clean samples, such as RT-qPCR, sequencing, cloning, or in vitro transcription setups.

Description:

HL-SAN
Removal of nucleic acids may improve workflows during protein purification, both for laboratory sample preparation and industrial bioprocessing. HL-SAN is a nonspecific endonuclease with optimum activity at high salt concentrations. HL-SAN is active in a variety of buffers and can be easily inactivated by treatment with a reducing agent. These features make HL-SAN particularly useful in the purification of proteins and removal of DNA and RNA from molecular biology reagents.

Nucleic acids, and especially genomic DNA, often pose a problem in purification of DNA-binding proteins as they interfere with purification, downstream analysis or applications.
As most nucleases are inhibited by high concentrations of salt, removal of DNA is difficult, since NaCl is used to dissociate DNA from proteins.

The high salt-tolerance and easy removal makes HL-SAN beneficial to use in protein purification schemes, especially in combination with IMAC (Immobilized metal affinity chromatography) media used for purification of poly-His-tagged proteins both in conventional chromatography or high-throughput settings.
