ArcticZymes Technologies Launches SAN HQ 2.0
Tromsø, Norway, 30[th] June 2021 - ArcticZymes Technologies ASA (OSE: AZT) announces the launch of the second generation of its SAN HQ enzyme
ArcticZymes Technologies' Salt Active Nuclease High Quality (SAN HQ) enzyme has achieved significant penetration in the viral vector manufacturing space in the last 5 years. Viral vectors are used in therapeutic applications such as vaccines and gene therapies. SAN HQ treatment is used in the downstream purification of viral vectors to remove contaminating DNA.
The second generation of the enzyme, SAN HQ 2.0, has been optimised for wider compatibility with downstream processes used in biomanufacturing. In particular, SAN HQ 2.0 offers improved resolution in several chromatographic techniques, thereby simplifying the separation of the nuclease from the target product post treatment. ArcticZymes anticipates that SAN HQ 2.0 will increase the Company's reach within the viral vector space and provide new opportunities in recombinant protein production.
The product will be commercially available from late Q3 2021.
