High purity α-Amylase (Thermostable) (Bacillus sp.) for use in research, biochemical enzyme assays and in vitro diagnostic analysis. This enzyme is exceptionally thermostable and is the ideal choice for use in the total starch assay kits (K-TSTA and K-TSHK). It is considerably more thermostable than related enzymes such as the heat stable α-amylase (Bacillus licheniformis, E-BLAAM). Please see the data sheet for experimental stability data.
