This enzyme is for use with the following kits:

• Introduction To Enzymes Kit (B8A01594)
• The Effect of Temperature on Enzymes Kit (B8R03299)
• The Effect of pH on Enzymes Kit (B8R03298)

It's good practice to store enzymes in a refrigerator (5°C approx.). This should give a shelf life of 12 months without significant loss of activity.

All enzymes, as supplied, should be considered as 100% (unless otherwise specified) for example:

• Cellulase is supplied as 2g powder - 1g in 100ml gives a 1% working solution
• Pectinase supplied as 100ml - 1ml diluted to 100ml gives a 1% solution

Glossary:

• pH - Recommended range for maximum activity
• Working Concentration - dilution of the Enzyme (as supplied) to this level should give an acceptable reaction time.
• Substrate - substance to be reacted with the Enzyme, and appropriate concentration
• Product - substance produced by breakdown of the substrate
• Source - origin of the Enzyme
