Proteinase K Solution, 20mg/mL

Proteinase K is a serine protease inhibitor that is especially useful in the extraction of DNA and RNA. It inactivates DNase and RNase that could otherwise interfere with the purity of the final product.

This 20 mg/mL solution is prepared using high purity Proteinase K with an activity of >30 U/mg. Activity can be increased by heating the reaction temperature to 60°C. Most DNA purification protocols call for a working concentration of Proteinase K at 200 µg/mL.

bioWORLD offers a number of comprehensive DNA extraction kits with all of the necessary reagents included and step-by-step instructions.

bioWORLD's products are supplied for LABORATORY RESEARCH USE ONLY. The product may not be used as a drug, agricultural or pesticidal product, food additive or as a household chemical.
