The testing of residual host cell DNA is a crucial aspect of quality management in the manufacturing of biologics. These tests are essential to ensure that the final products do not contain hazardous or unwanted DNA residues that could pose potential risks to patients.

Discover in our latest blog post why residual DNA is such a huge problem, which regulatory requirements must be met and which methods are used to determine it.

We look forward to welcoming you to the AACR Annual Conference 2025 from April 25 - 30. Get in touch with our contamination control experts and discover product solutions for controlling, detecting, preventing and eliminating contamination in your lab. You'll find us at booth #4639.

Product Highlights
Safely remove DNA, RNA, DNases, and RNases

Are you aware that the use of disinfectants destroys cell walls of microorganisms and releases intracellular substances such as nucleic acids, which adhere to the surfaces and lead to cross-contamination and falsification of PCR results?

Ensure decontaminated surfaces free of DNA/RNA and DNases/RNases with our PCR Clean Spray and Wipes. See the difference and request your test sample.

QUICK TIP

Prevent contamination in your cell culture:

If you are not sure whether the pipette tip has come into contact with an edge or surface, play it safe and discard the pipette tip. This costs less time and money than actually dealing with contamination.
