Thermo Scientific™ Pierce™ Horseradish Peroxidase

Description

Thermo Scientific™ Pierce Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is purified horseradish peroxidase enzyme for use in activity assays and conjugation to antibodies for ELISA, Western blotting and immunohistochemistry applications.

Highlights:

• Superior to alkaline phosphatase and β-galactosidase conjugates due to the higher specific enzyme activity
• Small size (40kDa) allows excellent cellular penetration
• Variety of substrates available
• Ideal in blotting and cytochemistry applications
• Used as the reporter enzyme for Thermo Scientific SuperSignal Chemiluminescent Western Blotting and ELISA Substrates
