Description

Urease CAS NO 9002-13-5 is a highly specific nickel-containing enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of urea into ammonia and carbon dioxide. This precise catalytic action is critical for controlling urea levels and generating ammonia in a controlled manner across numerous industrial and diagnostic processes. It is an essential reagent for manufacturers and researchers in the biotechnology, pharmaceutical, diagnostic, and agricultural sectors requiring reliable enzymatic activity for their applications.

Application

• Clinical Diagnostics & Medical Testing: Key component in blood urea nitrogen (BUN) tests and other in-vitro diagnostic kits for measuring urea concentration in biological samples.
• Biotechnology & Pharmaceutical Research: Used as a model enzyme in biochemical studies, inhibitor screening, and enzymatic reaction mechanisms.
• Food & Beverage Industry: Employed in analytical procedures to detect and quantify urea in food products, wines, and milk.
• Environmental Monitoring & Analysis: Applied in biosensors and test kits for the detection of urea and related compounds in water and soil samples.
• Agricultural Science: Utilized in soil science research to study nitrogen cycling and urease activity in various soil types.
• Industrial Processes: Potential use in specific biocatalytic processes where the controlled release of ammonia is required.
