Description

Alcohol Oxidase is a highly specific enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of primary alcohols to their corresponding aldehydes, with the concomitant reduction of oxygen to hydrogen peroxide. This biocatalyst is critical for analytical and industrial processes requiring selective oxidation under mild conditions. It is essential for manufacturers and R&D facilities in the biotechnology, diagnostic, and fine chemical synthesis sectors.

Application

• Biosensor Development: Core component in amperometric and optical biosensors for the detection of ethanol, methanol, and other short-chain alcohols in clinical, food, and environmental monitoring.
• Diagnostic Kits: Used in enzymatic assay kits for the quantitative determination of blood alcohol content and other clinical diagnostics.
• Biocatalysis: Employed in the synthesis of fine chemicals and pharmaceutical intermediates, offering a green alternative to traditional chemical oxidants.
• Food & Beverage Analysis: Applied in quality control to measure alcohol content and monitor fermentation processes in breweries and wineries.
• Research Reagent: Utilized in biochemical research to study enzyme kinetics, metabolic pathways, and oxidative stress mechanisms.
• Industrial Process Monitoring: Integrated into systems for real-time monitoring of alcohol vapors in industrial safety and manufacturing environments.
