Lyophilized Enzymes
Lyophilized enzymes are biological catalysts that have undergone the process of lyophilization, also known as freeze-drying. This preservation technique involves freezing the enzyme solution and then removing water through sublimation under vacuum conditions, resulting in a dried form of the enzyme. Lyophilized enzymes retain their catalytic activity and specificity, making them valuable tools in various […]
Lyophilized Cakes
Lyophilized cakes, in scientific terms, are solid, dried forms of materials that have undergone the lyophilization process, commonly known as freeze-drying. This process involves freezing the material and then removing water through sublimation under vacuum conditions. lyophilized cakes are essential for the preservation and storage of biological materials, such as proteins, enzymes, antibodies, and cell […]
Lyophilization In Biology
In biological research, lyophilization serves as a method for long-term storage of sensitive biological materials. By removing water, lyophilization prevents degradation processes such as enzymatic activity, protein denaturation, and microbial growth. This preservation method enables researchers to maintain the biological activity and integrity of samples for extended periods, facilitating experimentation, analysis, and distribution of valuable […]
Lyophilization and PCR
Lyophilization, commonly known as freeze-drying, is a method used to remove water from a substance while preserving its structure and biological activity. This process involves freezing the substance and then subjecting it to vacuum conditions, causing the frozen water to sublime directly from solid to vapor, bypassing the liquid phase. Lyophilization is based on principles […]
LDH Reagents
LdH reagents are reagents used in the measurement or analysis of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). LDH is an enzyme found in many tissues in the body, including the heart, liver, muscles, and red blood cells. It plays a role in cellular respiration by catalyzing the conversion of lactate to pyruvate and back. LDH levels in the […]
Lyophilized Reagents
Lyophilization reagents play a crucial role in the freeze-drying process, offering numerous benefits that enhance the preservation of sensitive materials. These reagents, often in the form of cryoprotectants, stabilizers, or buffers, help maintain the integrity and viability of biological samples, pharmaceuticals, and other delicate substances during lyophilization. By preventing ice crystal formation and minimizing structural […]
Lyophilization Applications
Some common lyophilization applications include: Catachem offers custom lyophilization services.
GPO Diagnostics
GPO, or Glycerol-3-Phosphate Oxidase, diagnostics refer to assays or test systems that utilize the enzyme GPO to measure glycerol levels in biological samples. GPO is an enzyme involved in the metabolism of glycerol, catalyzing the oxidation of glycerol to dihydroxyacetone phosphate in the presence of oxygen. This enzymatic reaction produces hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), which can […]
Fructosamine Test Kits
Fructosamine test kits are diagnostic tools used to measure fructosamine levels in blood samples, offering insights into average blood glucose levels over the preceding 2-3 weeks. Fructosamine, formed through the non-enzymatic glycation of serum proteins like albumin in the presence of glucose, serves as an indicator of glycemic control in diabetic individuals. These kits typically […]
