Threshold® Total DNA Assay

Threshold Total DNA Assay quantitatively measures picograms of single-stranded DNA. Unlike hybridization techniques which require DNA probes or primers with a specific nucleic acid sequence, the Threshold Total DNA Assay measures DNA with broad sequence specificity. This enables the Threshold System to measure host-cell DNA as well as other DNA that might have been introduced during the biopharmaceutical manufacturing process. In addition, since the assay does not require sequence-specific probes or primers, it can easily be applied to different samples purified from different host organisms.
