Enzymes

World-leading Enzymes

Powering your assays for over 70 years, our ISO 13485-certified processes keep every lot of our specialist enzymes pure, stable, and reproducible.

Built on a long legacy of enzyme innovation, we extract and purify native enzymes from microbial, plant and animal sources – as well as developing and manufacturing recombinant forms.

BBI is the world’s largest global primary manufacturer of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and a leading supplier of glucose oxidase (GO) – powering more than five billion tests each year.

Clinical Chemistry

High-purity oxidases, dehydrogenases and urease keep chemistry assays stable, letting analysers run longer between calibrations and deliver results faster.

Immunoassay Label

Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) and Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) from BBI are the top-of-line enzymes for conjugation to antibodies, for your immunoassay needs.

Molecular Biology

Nuclease- and protease-free DNase, RNase, and protease grades protect PCR and NGS runs.

Biosensor

BBI’s trusted glucose oxidases drive over 5 billion assays annually, delivering secure supply for high volume test and device manufacturers, and quick results for consumers.

Heparinase

Recombinant Heparinases I, II, and III deliver consistent heparin cleavage, for low-molecular-weight heparin production and accurate coagulation tests, as well as for glycobiology research and diagnostic devices.

Hyaluronidase

High-purity ovine and bovine hyaluronidase remodel extracellular matrix consistently, accelerating wound-healing and regenerative-medicine studies.

Research

Start with trial packs of catalase, LDH and more – then scale to ISO 13485 bulk, derisking the path from concept to launch with one partner.

Frequently asked questions

Enzymes

Where are your enzymes manufactured?

All core enzymes are produced in our ISO 13485-certified plants in Crumlin (UK) and Cape Town (SA).

How should I store and ship each enzyme?

Different enzymes have different storage and shipping requirements. Check the individual enzymes documentation for exact details. On arrival store ALP at 2–8 °C glycerol solution. Lyophilised GOx, HRP, RNase and Urease keep best desiccated below –15 °C.

Can I extend the best-before date on my enzyme?

Email technicalsupport@bbisolutions.com—many grades qualify for a validated shelf-life extension.

Which applications are BBI enzymes commonly used in?

Biosensors, immunoassays, clinical chemistry and molecular diagnostics are the four most common uses.

What makes your alkaline phosphatase a good ELISA label?

Highest-activity conjugation grade (> 2 000 Gly U mg-¹) with < 10 % activity loss over 48 months –  delivering low background and extended incubations.

What purity/activity levels can I expect from horseradish peroxidase?

There are options for multiple grades, including those that deliver ≥ 90 % isozyme C and ~ 280 U mg-¹ activity for clean, rapid conjugation.

Do you supply bulk volumes?

Yes – order anywhere from R&D vials to > 10 000 ku ALP or > 1 000 MU GOx; we pack to order.

What documents ship with each batch?

We operate an ISO13485 quality system. That means a Certificate of Analysis and Safety Data Sheet are available to you.
