Assay Kits
Megazyme biochemical assay kits cater to a wide range of industries such as food, cereals and dietary fiber, dairy, analytical laboratories, animal feed and nutrition, biofuels, biotechnology, wine, malting and brewing, and research.
When coupled with the various analyzers available from Megazyme, a bespoke solution for users at every level is available. Many Megazyme methods have been validated by international bodies and in most cases, a number of different assay kit formats (manual, microplate, auto-analyser) are available.
Enzymes
Innovative recombinant technology and purification techniques have enabled Megazyme to produce and supply an extensive and continually expanding portfolio of highly pure enzymes that have widespread use in analytical, diagnostic and research applications throughout various industries.
We have a wide range of analytical enzymes, carbohydrate active enzymes and glycobiology enzymes applicable for food, feeds, cereals, brewing, wine and biofuels research.
Enzyme Substrates
Soluble chromogenic substrates are useful for the quantitative assay of enzyme solutions using the standard curve available for each product while insoluble chromogenic substrates are mostly employed qualitatively for the detection of specific enzyme activities in gels or plate screening experiments.
Colourimetric oligosaccharides are soluble, chemically defined, functionalised oligosaccharides that can be used for the specific assay of exo- or endo-glycosyl hydrolases and are suitable for use with automated analyzer systems.
Carbohydrates
Megazyme’s chromogenic substrates provide the most convenient methods for the assay of hydrolytic enzymes but as the native substrates, polysaccharides and oligosaccharides can give the truest insight into their mechanism of action, active site requirement, binding affinities and activities.
Polysaccharides can often be employed for reducing sugar or viscometric assays while oligosaccharides are widely used as chromatographic standards for HPLC/HPAEC-PAD analysis or as defined substrates in enzyme characterisation studies.
Carrez Clarification Kit
The Carrez Clarification Kit provides easy and ready to use reagents for the removal of interfering compounds such as proteins and fats from samples, allowing improved handling and more accurate measurement of target analytes such as carbohydrates and alcohols.
Application examples: Dairy samples including milk, cream, whey protein, cheese, yoghurt and infant formula. Other foodstuffs such as meat, fish may also be possible.
