Product Description
SHENTEK® Residual NS0&SP2/0 DNA Quantitation Kit is a qPCR-based assay for quantitation of residual NS0 and SP2/0 host cell DNA in biopharmaceutical matrices (in-process samples to final products). The kit provides NS0&SP2/0 DNA Control as a reference standard and contains qPCR Reaction Buffer, NS0&SP2/0 Primer & Probe MIX, and DNA Dilution Buffer. The assay is designed for sensitive, specific and rapid quantitation at the femtogram (fg) level. Reagents in this kit are sufficient for 100 reactions. For DNA extraction procedures refer to SHENTEK® Residual Host Cell DNA Sample Preparation Kit (Product No. 1104191). For Research Use Only (RUO).
Technical Specifications
| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| Intended use | Quantitation of residual NS0 and SP2/0 host cell DNA in biopharmaceutical products (in-process and final products) |
| Assay format | Absolute quantitation by qPCR using a supplied standard curve |
| Sensitivity | Designed to quantitate at femtogram (fg) level; lowest kit standard = 0.003 pg/µL (3 fg/µL). Laboratory validation required to establish LOD/LOQ. |
| Standard curve concentrations | ST1: 300 pg/µL; ST2: 30 pg/µL; ST3: 3 pg/µL; ST4: 0.3 pg/µL; ST5: 0.03 pg/µL; ST6: 0.003 pg/µL (ST0 stock: 3000 pg/µL) |
| Reaction volume | 30 µL total reaction volume (20 µL qPCR mix + 10 µL sample or control) |
| qPCR mix per reaction | qPCR Reaction Buffer 17 µL + NS0&SP2/0 Primer & Probe MIX 3 µL = 20 µL per reaction |
| Thermal cycling conditions | Activation: 95 °C 10:00 (1 cycle); Denaturation: 95 °C 00:15 (40 cycles); Annealing/Extension: 60 °C 1:00 (data acquisition during this step) |
| Instrument compatibility | Compatible with common real-time PCR instruments (examples: SHENTEK-96S, ABI 7500, Bio-Rad CFX96, StepOne Plus, LineGene 9600, Mx3000P) |
| Acceptance criteria / QC | ERC recovery: 50%–150%; NTC Ct should be ≥ 35 cycles or undetermined (or per lab validation); Ct of NCS should be > mean Ct of lowest standard or below validated LOQ |
| Stability | Kit components stable for up to 24 months when stored as instructed |
| Reactions per kit | Reagents for 100 reactions |
| Reference / related product | For extraction information see SHENTEK® Residual Host Cell DNA Sample Preparation Kit (Product No. 1104191) |
