Description

Nucleic Acid-Binding Protein, Maize is a specialized protein derived from maize (Zea mays) with a high affinity for binding to nucleic acids (DNA and RNA). This product is essential for research and industrial applications requiring the isolation, purification, or manipulation of genetic material. It is particularly valuable for molecular biology laboratories, diagnostic kit manufacturers, and bioprocessing facilities focused on downstream nucleic acid purification.

Application

• Nucleic Acid Purification Kits: A key component in spin-column or magnetic bead-based kits for the isolation of high-purity DNA and RNA from complex biological samples.
• Molecular Biology Research: Used in techniques such as chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP), electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSA), and as a non-specific carrier protein in enzymatic reactions.
• Diagnostic Assay Development: Employed in the formulation of buffers and reagents for PCR, qPCR, and next-generation sequencing (NGS) to improve specificity and yield.
• Bioprocessing & Vaccine Production: Facilitates the removal of host cell nucleic acids during the downstream purification of recombinant proteins, antibodies, and viral vectors.
• Food Safety & GMO Testing: Integral to nucleic acid extraction protocols for detecting pathogens or genetically modified organisms in agricultural and food products.
• Forensic Analysis: Aids in the extraction and stabilization of DNA from challenging forensic samples for genetic fingerprinting.

Quality Control

Our products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure compliance with industry standards for research and in-vitro diagnostic use. Each batch is characterized for functional activity, purity, and absence of contaminating nucleases. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing assay, purity, and biological activity are available upon request. Production follows quality management principles suitable for GMP-grade ancillary materials.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store lyophilized powder at 2-8°C. Reconstituted solutions should be aliquoted and stored at -20°C or below to prevent repeated freeze-thaw cycles. The product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive).
