About DENARASE® High Salt
How it works
DENARASE® High Salt is an engineered version of the wild-type Serratia marcescens endonuclease, which is commonly used for DNA removal applications in bioprocessing. Compared to the wild-type DENARASE® a few amino acids were substituted to provide the enzyme with an improved salt tolerance without losing its specificity for nucleic acids. DENARASE® High Salt shows higher activity over a wider range of salt concentrations and pH levels and so offers greater flexibility in bioprocessing.
Because of the great similarities to the wild-type enzyme, DENARASE® High Salt can be detected using the same Serratia marcescens endonuclease ELISA Kits, such as DENARASE® ELISA Kit.
Production of DENARASE® High Salt
DENARASE® High Salt is produced using our established, proprietary DENARASE® manufacturing process which is based on the expression in a gram-positive Bacillus sp. strain. The enzyme is produced under ISO 9001 standard, without the use of antibiotics and raw materials of animal origin or TSE/BSE risk.

Development of DENARASE®
2024
Launch of DENARASE® High Salt
c-LEcta launched DENARASE® High Salt, an engineered version of its top-selling product DENARASE®.
The newest addition to the DENARASE® portfolio has been especially designed to retain activity at higher salt concentrations and a broad pH spectrum. These features provide customers with greater process flexibility and increased cost efficiency in viral vector manufacturing processes that benefit from elevated salt levels.

2023
New sizes of R&D-grade DENARASE® available
c-LEcta has just launched additional sizes of DENARASE® for research and development use.
Being widely applied in biopharmaceutical R&D and manufacturing, DENARASE sizes of 1 MU and 5 MU will now also be available as R&D-grade, in addition to GMP-grade.

2022
Global application of DENARASE® and ELISA Kit in biopharmaceutical manufacturing
DENARASE® and ELISA Kit are established highest-quality products, applied in the manufacturing of viral vectors for Gene therapies and vaccines:
> 150 customers in > 30 countries
DENARASE® is applied in 4 Commercial and 40+ Clinical Phase I-III viral vector manufacturing processes

2021
Drug Master File for DENARASE® accepted by FDA
Dedicated regulatory support for US-market approvals of pharmaceutical products via own US FDA Drug Master File.
In addition, certified compliance with the EXCiPACT and ANSI NSF 363 Standard (meeting GMP for pharmaceutical excipients)

2020
COVID-Support
Focused support for customers developing and manufacturing COVID-19 vaccines at unprecedented speed
Concerted efforts of c-LEcta teams with COVID-19 vaccine customers succeeded in the delivery of large, unplanned quantities of DENARASE on short timelines
