NEBExpress Salt Active Nuclease, GMP Grade is a recombinant, engineered broad-specificity nuclease, designed to leverage high salt conditions to degrade nucleic acids in protein, adeno-associated virus (AAV), and biopharmaceutical manufacturing workflows for easier and more complete removal of these impurities. NEBExpress Salt Active Nuclease, GMP Grade is manufactured according to New England Biolabs’ GMP-grade* quality standards for stringent quality documentation and manufacturing needs. NEBExpress Salt Active Nuclease, GMP Grade is up to 2X more active than other nucleases at high salt to enable increased productivity and reduce costs. This GMP-grade salt active nuclease (SAN) enzyme is formulated at high concentration and activity to minimize sample dilution. NEBExpress Salt Active Nuclease, GMP Grade is enzymatically identical to the research-grade product (NEB #M0764), degrading all forms of DNA and RNA at a broad range of salt concentrations, with optimal activity at 500 mM NaCl/KCl.
Figure 1: NEBExpress Salt Active Nuclease outperforms two market-leading nucleases on 3 substrates at 500 mM NaCl.
The percent activity of NEBExpress Salt Active Nuclease and two other nucleases (normalized by concentration in μg/ml) was determined by measuring the degradation of fluorescent oligonucleotide substrates (dsDNA, ssDNA, RNA) at room temperature in the optimal buffer for each nuclease adjusted to a final salt concentration of 500 mM NaCl.
Figure 2: NEBExpress Salt Active Nuclease, GMP Grade has exceptionally high physical purity and lot-to-lot consistency, as determined by microfluidic electrophoresis.
The purity percentage of NEBExpress Salt Active Nuclease, GMP Grade (lots normalized by concentration in μg/ml) is determined by microfluidic capillary electrophoresis. Samples are denatured and fluorescently stained, followed by separation based on electrophoretic mobility across the instrument's detection window. The instrument separates, sizes, and quantifies the fluorescently labeled bands detected against a sizing ladder to determine total purity. (i.e. desired protein products from impurities and degradants).
Chart 1: Attributes of NEBExpress Salt Active Nuclease, GMP Grade
With NEB’s stringent GMP-grade manufacturing and quality control practices, NEBExpress Salt Active Nuclease, GMP Grade is suitable for host cell nucleic acid removal in development and manufacturing workflows of viral vectors, protein therapeutics and vaccines. In adeno-associated virus (AAV) bioprocessing where high salt concentration is beneficial to minimize viral particle aggregation, this enzyme enables one step host cell lysis and removal of nucleic acid impurities.

Figure 3: NEBExpress Salt Active Nuclease outperforms market-leading nucleases across a range of NaCl concentrations
NEBExpress Salt Active Nuclease is more active than other market-leading nucleases between 250 and 1,000 mM NaCl. The percent activity of each nuclease (normalized by concentration in μg/ml) was determined by measuring the degradation of a fluorescent dsDNA hairpin oligonucleotide at 25°C in the optimal buffer for each nuclease adjusted to a final salt concentration as indicated.
* “GMP Grade” and "GMP-grade" are branding terms NEB uses to describe products manufactured or finished at NEB’s Rowley facility. The Rowley facility was designed to manufacture products under more rigorous infrastructure and process controls to achieve more stringent product specifications and customer requirements. Products manufactured at NEB’s Rowley facility are manufactured in compliance with ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 quality management system standards. However, at this time, NEB does not manufacture or sell products known as Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs), nor does NEB manufacture its products in compliance with all of the Current Good Manufacturing Practice regulations.
