Description

Driselase CAS NO 85186-71-6 is a multi-enzyme complex derived from the fungus *Irpex lacteus*, primarily composed of cellulase, xylanase, and laminarinase activities. This enzymatic preparation is critical for the efficient degradation and analysis of complex plant polysaccharides, offering a powerful tool for structural elucidation and biomass processing. It is an essential reagent for researchers and industrial manufacturers in the life sciences, biotechnology, and agricultural sectors who require reliable and consistent enzymatic activity for challenging substrate breakdown.

Application

• Plant Cell Wall Analysis: Used extensively in research laboratories for the enzymatic digestion of plant tissues to isolate protoplasts or to analyze cell wall composition and structure.
• Biomass Saccharification: Employed in biofuel and biorefinery research to break down lignocellulosic biomass (e.g., agricultural waste) into fermentable sugars.
• Carbohydrate Chemistry Research: A key tool for the selective hydrolysis of specific glycosidic bonds in polysaccharides like cellulose, hemicellulose, and β-glucans for structural studies.
• Food & Feed Industry: Can be utilized in processes to improve the digestibility and nutritional value of plant-based feed ingredients or to modify food texture.
• Pharmaceutical Preparation: Used in the extraction and processing of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) from plant sources.
• Diagnostic Reagent Manufacturing: Serves as a component in diagnostic kits and reagents designed for carbohydrate-related assays.

Quality Control

Our Driselase is produced and tested under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and optimal enzymatic activity. Each lot is characterized for key enzyme activities (cellulase, xylanase, laminarinase) using standardized assay methods. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing activity units, protein content, and purity specifications. While not a single chemical entity, our quality standards are aligned with the requirements for high-purity biochemical reagents used in research and industrial applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at 2-8°C. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). For long-term stability, consider storage at -20°C. Allow the product to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to minimize moisture condensation.
