Benzonase is the only effective biochemical product available for removing DNA and RNA from laboratory and industrial scale biopharmaceutical preparations. It is a unique, genetically-engineered endonuclease offering a variety of advantages over existing methods of nucleic acid removal.

For more than 10 years, Benzonase has been successfully applied in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry for downstream processing of biopharmaceutical actives such as monoclonal antibodies, vaccines and viral vectors. To meet varying user needs, Benzonase is available in two grades of purity:
Ultra Pure Grade I - more than 99% purity
Pure Grade II - more than 90% purity
1
EMD Chemicals (along with our parent company, Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany), is the exclusive manufacturer and distributor of Benzonase.
