American Biosystems Alkapro 150 Liquid
Alkapro Liquid is a water-dispersible preparation of Bacillus spp. which includes high concentrations of alkaline (serine) proteinase (protein digesting enzyme). Proteinases catalyze the hydrolysis of protein polymers into their component amino acids and peptides. While the complex polymeric protein in its original form may be practically insoluble, the amino acid components are more readily soluble or emulsifiable in aqueous solutions. Alkapro L has many applications over the pH range of 6.0-10.5. It is extremely resistant to the effects of chelating agents and detergents. This protease is very rigorous and non-specific in its degrading effects. This enzyme is compatible with sodium tripolyphosphate, EDTA, sodium hexametaphosphate, tetrasodium phosphate, non‐ionic detergents, sodium perborate, and many anionic and cationic surfactants.
