Product Description
Unwanted proteins and nucleases can compromise nucleic acid preps, and a robust protease is the simplest defense. This Zymo Research Proteinase K set supplies a stable serine protease that degrades a wide range of proteins, even in their native form and in the presence of detergents such as SDS.
This listing is for catalog number D3001-2-20: Proteinase K w/ Storage Buffer Set, 20 mg. The enzyme is packaged with its own storage buffer so you can reconstitute and keep it ready for repeated use. It is commonly added during sample lysis to digest proteins and inactivate nucleases in DNA and RNA preparations from microorganisms, cultured cells, tissues and plants. Choose from 5, 20, 60 or 125 mg sizes. Add it to your LIGHT LABS order and keep your bench stocked.
Key Features
- Broad specificity – Degrades many proteins, including those in native conformation.
- Detergent tolerant – Stays active in the presence of detergents such as SDS.
- Storage buffer included – Supplied with buffer for convenient reconstitution and storage.
- Nuclease removal – Helps protect DNA and RNA by digesting contaminating nucleases.
- Flexible sizes – Available in 5, 20, 60 and 125 mg.
