Description

Nitrate Reductase CAS NO 9029-42-9 is a critical oxidoreductase enzyme that catalyzes the reduction of nitrate to nitrite, a fundamental step in the nitrogen cycle. This enzymatic activity is essential for research and industrial processes requiring precise nitrogen metabolism control. It is a vital reagent for biotechnology firms, environmental testing laboratories, and academic research institutions focused on plant physiology, wastewater treatment, and soil science.

Application

• Environmental Monitoring & Water Quality Testing: Used in enzymatic assay kits for the quantitative determination of nitrate levels in water, soil, and agricultural runoff.
• Agricultural & Plant Science Research: Essential for studying nitrogen assimilation pathways, plant nutrition, and the development of nitrogen-use-efficient crops.
• Biotechnological Production: Employed in enzymatic synthesis and biocatalytic processes, particularly in systems designed to manage or convert nitrogenous compounds.
• Food & Beverage Analysis: Applied in analytical methods to detect and quantify nitrate content in food products, beverages, and dietary supplements.
• Clinical & Diagnostic Research: Utilized in research assays investigating the role of nitrate and nitrite in human physiology and pathophysiology.
• Wastewater Treatment Studies: Serves as a model enzyme in research aimed at enhancing biological denitrification processes for environmental remediation.

Quality Control

Our Nitrate Reductase is produced and tested under stringent quality management protocols. Each batch is characterized for specific activity, purity, and stability to ensure consistent performance in critical applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA), detailing parameters such as activity units, protein content, and storage stability, is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your research or production standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store at -20°C or below. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure the container is sealed tightly after each use to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect enzymatic activity. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
