A pre-purification step performed at the time of harvest can in some instances decrease the amount of DNA polymerase activity. At harvest we recommend a slow centrifugation of 3,000 to 12,000 rpm (up to 17,000 x g) for 10 minutes at 5oC ± 3°C (if this is not possible, room temperature wil suffice). The sample should be filtered through a 0.45 µm filter and the supernatant frozen and shipped as the test article. Tick if this has been performed 10. Residual DNA assays (107019, 33019)
The nature of the residual DNA to be quantified must be supplied. Please select the target of interest below. Residual DNA Tick if applicable
