Removing endotoxin from DNA is often difficult because of the physicochemical similarities of DNA and endotoxin. The most commonly used methods (ul trafiltration, size exclusion and ion exhange chromatography) have limited utilty in this area. Consequently, endotoxin removal is typically tedious and can incur significant losses of DNA during the process. Sterogene's DNA Etox overcomes these difficulties.
DNA Etox utilizes Sterogene's proprietary ALD coupling chemistry, an immobilization technique that produces a highly stable secondary amine linkage. Leaching is negligible, less then 0.1ppm, the sensitivity limit of the assay.
DNA Etox can be used in either a batch mode or a standard chromatography column. In batch mode, the settled gel is simply added directly to the DNA solution and vortexed. Serveral contact times ranging from 3 min to 20 min should be tested to achieve the most complete removal of endotoxin.
