UltraNuclease, also known as non-specific nuclease or broad-spectrum nuclease, is a non-specific endonuclease derived from Serratia Marcescen. It can cleave at any nucleotide within the chain, completely digesting nucleic acids into 5'-monophosphate oligonucleotides of 2-5 bases in length. UltraNuclease is capable of degrading various forms (double-stranded, single-stranded, linear, circular, native, or denatured) of DNA and RNA under a wide 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). It is widely used for removing nucleic acids from biological products.

This product is genetically engineered and expressed in Escherichia coli (E. coli), with a purity ≥99%. It is used to reduce the viscosity of cell supernatants and cell lysates, improve protein purification efficiency and functionality studies, and effectively prevent the clumping of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) in cell therapy and vaccine research.

It is provided as a sterile liquid enzyme stored in buffer (20 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0, 2 mM MgCl2, 20 mM NaCl, 50% Glycerol), appearing as a clear, colorless liquid.

Store this enzyme at -20°C and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles to preserve catalytic activity. The product is shipped Dry Ice and remains stable for up to one year from the date of manufacture when stored under recommended conditions. Aliquoting the stock solution into single-use volumes is recommended for enzymes used infrequently to minimize thermal cycling of the bulk stock.

This enzyme is validated for use in Nucleic Acid Purification applications. It is suitable for use in both standard laboratory research settings and, where applicable, optimized reaction workflows requiring high specificity, sensitivity, or throughput.

One unit (U) is defined as the amount of enzyme that degrades 1 µg of DNA or RNA substrate to acid-soluble form in 30 min at 37°C under defined buffer conditions.

This enzyme is produced as Recombinant (E. coli) and supplied as a Research Use Only (RUO) reagent. Each lot is subjected to activity assay, purity assessment by SDS-PAGE, and functional validation prior to release. A Certificate of Analysis (CoA) and Safety Data Sheet (SDS) are available on request.

Nuclease activity typically requires divalent metal ion cofactors (Mg²⁺ or Mn²⁺ at 1–5 mM). Activity is inhibited by chelating agents such as EDTA (≥1 mM), high salt concentrations, and reducing agents such as DTT at elevated concentrations. Heat inactivation (65–75°C for 15 min) is effective for most nucleases, allowing removal of enzyme activity after digestion without column purification.
