Proteinase K Powder

High-quality Proteinase K lyophilized powder ≥30 units/mg, nuclease-free, ideal for DNA/RNA extraction and protein digestion

The Proteinase K Lyophilized Powder ≥30 units/mg is a highly active, broad-spectrum serine protease purified from Tritirachium album. This enzyme exhibits wide cleavage specificity, hydrolyzing peptide bonds adjacent to the carboxylic group of aliphatic and aromatic amino acids.

Thanks to its stability and activity across a wide pH range (4–12.5), and resistance to denaturants such as SDS and EDTA, this Proteinase K lyophilized powder is ideal for digesting proteins during DNA and RNA extraction workflows. Its high purity, free from RNases, DNases, and exonucleases, ensures reliable results in molecular biology applications.

The lyophilized format allows convenient storage, shipping at ambient temperature, and reconstitution when needed.
