Description

This product is an extract of mite bodies. This means purified mite bodies which are extracted, this does not contain other material such as the faeces of the mites. Delivered in total dry weight. Our D. pteronyssinus house dust mites products are used by researchers all over the world. We have the D. pteronyssinus HDM available in different forms. The most popular form is the regular D. pteronyssinus extract but we can also deliver whole cultures, purified allergens (Der f 1/ Der f 2), excrements and mite bodies. In our production process we do not add any proteins. The only compound we use in our products which is not strictly from mites is the medium where the mites feed on. This medium contains an absolute low number of non-mite proteins. We try to cultivate the mites with the lowest amount of bacteria and moulds possible. All our house dust mite products contain the native proteins, with no denaturing treatments during production and purification. Our main focus is the production of house dust mites and their allergens.

Certificate of analysis

Each product will be delivered with a certificate of analysis. The certificate of analysis provides information, e.g. allergenic pattern, protein content (BCA and Bradford method), endotoxin level, protein pattern and protease activity. On this page you can find an an example of this certificate.

We shall send you the certificates of multiple batches so you can compare the batches and choose the batch that meets your requirements.

To provide material from the same batch over a longer period of time we produce large batches. This way we have we a lot of material available from a specific batch. You can even place a reservation for future orders.

HDM induced asthma models

Often we receive questions about house dust mite (HDM) induced asthma models. Which models are researchers using, which model do we recommend, what are the differences? To answer these questions we have contacted multiple research institutes all over the world and collected their models and background information.
