DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid), Sodium Salt (Calf Thymus)

Specially prepared to be low in protein content but highly polymerized. Suitable as a substrate for deoxyribonuclease. This DNA is an excellent substrate for DNase. A sodium salt, it must be converted by adding magnesium ions to be susceptible to DNase.

• Low protein and RNA content
• Characterized by a high polymerization factor
