LGC Biosearch Technologies Enzymes

LGC Biosearch Technologies has launched several new enzymes for molecular diagnostics workflows: COD UNG, a thermolabile uracil N-glycosylase that prevents amplicon carryover contamination from prior PCR or isothermal amplifications; thermostable pyrophosphatase, a heat-tolerant enzyme for DNA polymerization reactions to improve product yield in PCR and enhanced IVT reactions; T7 exonuclease, an enzyme for NGS library prep that removes nucleotides in linear or nicked dsDNA in a stepwise fashion from 5' to 3'; and salt-tolerant endonuclease, which degrades host cell DNA and RNA in protein preparations.
