Thermostable Enzyme Laboratory Co.,Ltd.

Major field: Genomics

Miner field: Contract Research

Screening and cloning of new enzymes, protein engineering for improvement of enzymes

Overview

All the enzyme products that we provide are not so-called ready-made products. Those enzymes are made for each customer just like an order-made product. At first, we provide some small amount of samples in order to check its activity or its character. After checking its spec, the product is made up to satisfy the customer’s demands, for example, its performance, its purity and the cost.

Product / Service / PR

    The distributed general industrial enzymes often include many contaminant enzymes having the activities other than the target activity which attenuate the activity of original enzyme and reduces yield of the target material. Our highly purified enzyme is produced by gene recombination technology. Excessive enzyme activities are removed by this specialized technology, and the targeted reaction alone is preceded accurately. Our highly reliable and durable thermostable enzyme has attracted attention in the fields of fine chemical, chemistry, energy, and any other industries as a catalyst of next generation alternative to conventional chemical catalyst.
