Proteinase K Solution

Name: Proteinase K Solution
SKU: EZ0015-S
Price: 43.20 EUR
Availability: InStock

Ready-to-use Proteinase K solution 20 mg/mL, nuclease-free, for protein digestion in DNA/RNA extraction and molecular biology workflows.

The Proteinase K Solution 20 mg/mL is a highly active, broad-spectrum serine protease purified from Tritirachium album. This ready-to-use Proteinase K solution cleaves peptide bonds adjacent to aliphatic and aromatic amino acids, making it ideal for digesting proteins during DNA and RNA extraction workflows.

Its stability at elevated temperatures and resistance to detergents such as SDS and chelating agents like EDTA ensure reliable performance under denaturing conditions. Supplied in 50% glycerol buffer for convenient handling, the Proteinase K solution guarantees reproducibility, nuclease-free purity, and consistent results in molecular biology protocols.
