The present invention provides a method of removing nucleic acid contamination in an amplification reaction which comprises use of a thermolabile DNase and a method of preventing or reducing false positive results due to carry-over in a nucleic acid amplification reaction, said method comprising using a thermolabile DNase to degrade carried-over non-target double-stranded DNA present in the amplification reaction mixture. A thermolabile DNase from the shrimp has been identified which is suitable for use in the methods of the invention.

Method of removing nucleic acid contamination in amplification reactions

Cationic biopolymers

A process for isolating valuable bioactive substances such as the enzymes alkaline phosphates, hyaluronidase and chitinase from crustacea, mainly shrimp, by extracting said enzymes with a water soluble eluant and to treat the extracted brine in the following process steps; purifying by centrifugation or filtration, purification, extraction and removal of unwanted substances and isolation of the valuable substances.
