Zinc carried by Highly Polymerized DNA

INCI Name Zinc DNA
Trade Name ZnDNA


ORIGIN
NATURAL AND MARINE ORIGIN
Extracted from salmon milt in strict conditions in order to preserve the properties of this fundamental polymer.

ASPECT
White to cream-white fibers, measuring several cm long.

SOLUBILITY
Fibers are relatively soluble in water, forming a gel at low concentrations (1.0 to 3.0 %).
Insoluble in alcohol, acetone, ether and other organic solvents.

TYPICAL ANALYSIS
Nitrogen, Phosphorous, Deoxyribose, Zinc.

OBLIGATORY PARAMETERS OF QUALITY
• Equality of nucleic bases: (A/T), (G/C), [(A+G)/(T+C)] ratios about 1,
• High degree of polymerization by Size Exclusion Chromatography and Light Scattering Detector
