Product Description
SHENTEK Deoxyribonuclease I (DNase I) ELISA Kit is a 96-well, sandwich-format immunoassay for quantitative measurement of DNase I impurities in bioprocess samples and finished products (e.g., mRNA vaccines and therapeutics). The assay uses sheep polyclonal anti-DNase I capture antibody coated on microtiter strips, a biotinylated anti-DNase I detection antibody, and streptavidin-HRP for signal generation. TMB substrate is oxidized by HRP and measured at 450 nm (with 620–650 nm reference); concentration is determined using a 4-parameter logistic (4-PL) calibration curve. The kit is intended for Research Use Only (RUO) and supports testing from in-process samples through drug substance and drug product.

Attention
• For Research Use Only (not for clinical or diagnostic use).
• Store kit and components at 2–8 °C. Do not mix reagents from different lot numbers.
• Handle Stop Solution (1 M HCl) with care; avoid contact with eyes/skin; wear goggles and protective clothing.
• Protect light-sensitive reagents (TMB, streptavidin-HRP, biotinylated conjugate) from light.
• Avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles of samples; for long-term storage keep samples at ≤ −70 °C.
• Samples should have pH between 6.5 and 8.0; values outside this range may cause abnormal results.
• Use fresh ultrapure water (temperature below 37 °C) for reagent preparation; if diluent or wash buffer has precipitate, heat to 37 °C until clear.
• Minimum recommended pipetting volume is 5 µL for dilution accuracy; avoid bubbles and foaming when pipetting.
• Centrifuge concentrated conjugates (100×) before use and prepare working solutions fresh; single-use recommended for some prepared solutions.
• Do not use samples containing sodium azide (NaN3) as it will inactivate HRP and underestimate DNase I levels.
• Complete plate reading within 30 minutes after stopping the reaction.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the assay sensitivity and dynamic range?
The assay linear range is 0.5–32 ng/mL with an LLOQ of 0.5 ng/mL. Typical calibration fits a 4-parameter logistic model (example R² ≈ 0.999).
Q2: How should samples be prepared and stored prior to testing?
Samples must be clear/transparent; remove insoluble material by centrifugation or filtration. Avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles; for long-term storage store at ≤ −70 °C. Adjust sample dilution to fit the calibration curve and ensure pH between 6.5–8.0.
Q3: Can this assay cross-react with enzymes used in mRNA production or common host cell proteins?
No. The kit has been tested and shows no cross-reactivity with T7 RNA Polymerase, RNase Inhibitor, BsaI, or host cell proteins from P. pastoris, MDCK, Vero, HEK293, Sf9, CHO, and E. coli.
Q4: What should I do if I observe high background signal?
Possible causes include reagent or equipment contamination, insufficient washing, or environmental contamination. Use freshly prepared reagents, increase wash volume/times, clean equipment with 75% ethanol, and avoid cross-contamination of wells.
