Description General description A non-specific protease liquefies mucins and digests proteins to free amino acids. Can be used to isolate living chondrocytes. Most active at neutral pH, but stable over wide range of pH and temperature. Note: 1KU = 1000 units. A non-specific protease liquefies mucins and digests proteins to free amino acids. Can be used to isolate living chondrocytes. Most active at pH 7.0 but stable over wide ranges of pH and temperature. Has an optimal pH of 7.5. Note: 1 KU = 1000 units. Packaging 10, 100, 5, 50 ku in Plastic ampoule 25 ku in Glass bottle Warning Toxicity: Harmful (C) Unit Definition One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme that will liberate a digestion product equivalent to 25 µg of tyrosine per min at 40°C, pH 7.5. Reconstitution Unstable in solution; reconstitute just prior to use.
