Double-strand specific DNase for template DNA removal
RiboClean™ dsDNase
OverView
RiboClean™ dsDNase is a double-strand specific DNase designed for effective removal of template DNA from in vitro transcription (IVT) reactions. The enzyme selectively degrades double-stranded DNA while preserving RNA integrity and yield, enabling streamlined RNA manufacturing workflows with less DNase protein going into purification. Under tested IVT conditions, RiboClean™ dsDNase achieved template DNA digestion using up to 10× fewer enzyme units than conventional DNase I.
Key Benefits
- Removes template DNA with up to 10x fewer enzyme units than DNase I.
- Reduces residual template DNA while maintaining RNA integrity and yield.
- Allows 40x less DNase protein by mass than DNase I, reducing DNase carry-over into purification.
- Integrates directly into IVT workflows without additional calcium supplementation or buffer exchange.
- Modeled >80% lower DNase-related cost per 1g batch, Modeled >10% lower reagent cost per mg RNA produced.
Key Features
- Generates DNA fragments <17 nt.
- Optimal activity between 35–45°C.
- Active across a broad pH range and tolerant to variable process conditions.

RiboClean™ dsDNase performs optimally between 35-45°C, pH 6.6-8.0, and 0-10 mM NaCl. The enzyme requires more than 4 mM Mg²⁺ for optimal activity and remains active across a broad range of IVT-relevant conditions.
RiboClean™ dsDNase is inhibited by EDTA, which chelates the magnesium ions required for enzyme activity. Following template DNA digestion, add EDTA in excess relative to the Mg²⁺ concentration in the reaction to stop nuclease activity before downstream purification steps.
Start with 0.1 U per µg plasmid DNA used in the IVT reaction. Under tested conditions, this gave residual template DNA comparable to 1 U DNase I. For lower residual DNA, add more: 1 U RiboClean™ dsDNase reduced residual template DNA to 2.2% of the DNase I result.
Yes. RiboClean™ dsDNase has been designed for simple integration into IVT workflows. Under the tested conditions described in the product data, no additional calcium supplementation, buffer exchange, or process redesign was required before template DNA digestion.
