Abstract
Here we present a completely new DNA decontamination reagent, DNA-ExitusPlus. In comparison with conventional products, DNA-ExitusPlus guarantees fast and efficient destruction of nucleic acids without corrosive or toxic properties. DNA-ExitusPlus was developed by AppliChem GmbH, Darmstadt, in cooperation with multiBIND biotec GmbH, Dortmund.
