SAN High Quality 2.0 - Peak performance with easier removal
SAN High Quality 2.0 is the second generation of our SAN HQ enzyme. The primary difference with SAN HQ 2.0 is its easier removal and wider compatibility with downstream processes used in bioprocessing workflows while exhibiting the same salt tolerance and other biochemical characteristics as SAN HQ.
The downstream compatibility improvements are of particular importance if used with anionic exchange media or using size exclusion chromatography / TFF below 100 kDa pore size.
Easy Separation
Due to its high isoelectric point (9.55), SAN HQ 2.0 binds strongly to cation exchange media, even at elevated pH and salt concentrations, where few other proteins binds. SAN HQ 2.0 does not typically bind to anion exchange media. SAN HQ 2.0 does not have a His-tag, and consequently does not bind to IMAC media. This allows easy separation if the protein of interest contains a His-tag.
For detailed information, see Figure 1.
Description
SAN High Quality 2.0 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 – 650 mM (Figure 1).
SAN High Quality 2.0 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.

Due to its high isoelectric point (9.55), SAN HQ 2.0 binds strongly to cation exchange media, even at elevated pH and salt concentrations, where few other proteins binds. SAN HQ 2.0 does not typically bind to anion exchange media. SAN HQ 2.0 does not have a His-tag, and consequently does not bind to IMAC media. This allows easy separation if the protein of interest contains a His-tag.
SAN High Quality 2.0 has optimum activity between 400 - 650 mM NaCl but can be used in a broad range of NaCl-concentrations, near identical to the characterisitics of SAN HQ (pale green). The activity was measured at 37°C in a 25 mM Tris-HCl buffer, pH 8.5, 10 mM MgCl2 with varying concentrations of NaCl. Maximum activity was set to 100%. Similar results were obtained using KCl instead of NaCl (results not shown).
SAN HQ 2.0 performs best in the 8.2 - 8.8 pH range. A working range starting at pH 7.3 allows use in most biological buffers. SAN HQ 2.0 demonstrate close to indentical pH tolerance as SAN HQ (pale green). The activity was measured at 37°C in a 25 mM Tris-HCl or Bis-Tris Propane buffer at various pH, 5 mM MgCl2 and 500 mM NaCl. Maximum activity was set to 100%.
SAN HQ 2.0 originates from a cold-adapted organism, which allows excellent performance at the temperature ranges commonly used in bioprocessing. For temperature sensitive products, DNA digestion overnight at 4°C is also possible. The temperature tolerance is near identical to that of SAN HQ (pale green ). The activity was measured in a 25 mM Tris-HCl buffer at pH 8.5 (@ measurement temperature), 5 mM MgCl2 and 500 mM of NaCl. 37°C was set to 100% as this is the temperature used for defining the activity in Units.
SAN HQ 2.0 shows excellent stability during use at 37°C, which is the typical incubation temperature in bioprocessing. After incubation at relevant DNA digestion conditions for 1 hour at 37°C, no significant loss of activity was observed compared to control sample kept on ice in enzyme dilution buffer. Buffer compositions: Lysis buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0 @ 25°C, 5 mM MgCl2, 0.5 % Triton X-100, 500 mM NaCl), DMEM (DMEM supplemented with 10 % FBS, 5 mM MgCl2 and 300 mM NaCl), Lysis buffer in DMEM (Lysis buffer and DMEM 1:1).
The SAN HQ ELISA 2.0 kit is designed as a classical sandwich ELISA. Two SAN HQ 2.0 specific antibodies recognising different epitopes are used to respectively capture and detect SAN HQ 2.0 in test samples. The detection antibody is linked to Biotin, which is detected by Streptavidin in the next step. Streptavidin is linked to a Peroxidase which catalyses a reaction that can be quantified colorimetrically by a spectrophotometer measuring OD at 450 nm.
