AZCL-POLYSACCHARIDES FOR THE ASSAY OF endo-HYDROLASES 11/99 AZCL-Polysaccharides (Azurine-Crosslinked Polysaccharides) are prepared by dyeing and crosslinking highly purified polysaccharides.They are supplied as a fine powder (milled to pass a 0.5 mm screen).These substrates are insoluble in buffered solutions, but rapidly hydrate to form gel particles which are readily and rapidly hydrolysed by specific endo-hydrolases releasing soluble dye-labeled fragments. These substrates can be used to locate enzyme activities in electrophoresis gels and to locate specific enzyme-producing micro-organisms on culture plates. In tablet form, they can also be used to measure enzyme activities in standard test-tube assays.

CONDITIONS OF USE OF AZCL-POLYSACCHARIDES: AZCL-Polysaccharides are the active ingredient in the test tablets supplied by Megazyme. Consequently, further information on possible applications and assay conditions for these substrates can be obtained by reference to the appropiate Test Tablet booklet. In general, the concentration of the AZCL-polysaccharide in the test tablet is 30% w/w.
