Lyse Gram positive or Gram negative bacteria for protein or nucleic acid purifications from bacteria

• High Activity: This enzyme is 200X more active than egg white lysozyme, thus improving bacterial lysis and using less enzyme
• Easy: No sample agitation or heat generation necessary during lysis which helps preserve protein function
• Flexible: Usuage volumes are easily adjusted based on the scale of the experiment

Ready-Lyse™ Lysozyme Solution is a recombinant lysozyme preparation, derived from a nonmammalian, nonavian source, that is useful for the lysis of Gram-negative (such as E. coli) and Gram-positive (such as Bacillus sp.) bacteria. The specific activity of Ready-Lyse Lysozyme is 200-fold higher than the specific activity of egg-white lysozyme and, therefore, less lysozyme is needed in a reaction. Also, unlike egg-white lysozyme, Ready-Lyse Lysozyme Solution is stable at -20°C, eliminating the need to prepare a fresh solution for each use. The use of Ready-Lyse Lysozyme results in higher yields of protein than can be obtained with standard eggwhite lysozyme.
