Description

Alcohol Dehydrogenase, Dye-Linked (From Methylophilus Methylotropus) is a specialized, high-purity enzyme preparation used as a critical reagent in biochemical analysis and diagnostic applications. Its core value lies in its ability to catalyze the oxidation of alcohols with a concomitant reduction of a dye molecule, enabling sensitive and specific detection methods. This product is essential for manufacturers and research laboratories in the in-vitro diagnostics (IVD), clinical chemistry, and life science research sectors, where precise enzymatic activity is paramount for assay accuracy and reliability.

Application

• Clinical Diagnostic Kits: A key component in enzymatic assays for the quantitative determination of ethanol, methanol, or other specific alcohols in blood, serum, and other biological fluids.
• Food & Beverage Analysis: Used in enzymatic test systems to measure alcohol content in fermented products, ensuring quality control and regulatory compliance.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a model enzyme for studying dehydrogenase mechanisms, enzyme kinetics, and cofactor regeneration systems in academic and industrial R&D.
• Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: Employed in process monitoring and quality control tests where specific alcohol concentrations need to be verified during production.
• Forensic Toxicology: Integral to enzymatic methods for the accurate and reliable analysis of blood alcohol levels in forensic samples.
• Environmental Monitoring: Potential use in biosensor development for detecting volatile alcohols in environmental or industrial samples.
