CheKine™ Mirco β- Xylosidase (β-X) Activity Assay Kit

β-Xylosidase (EC 3.2.1.37) exists in organisms such as plants, bacteria, and fungi. It is a key enzyme that catalyzes the degradation of xylan-based hemicelluloses, and the product xylose can serve as a carbon source for microbial fermentation. Additionally, β-xylosidase can be used as a biobleaching agent in the paper industry, offering environmental benefits over traditional bleaching methods and possessing broad application value. CheKine™ Mirco β-Xylosidase (β-X) Activity Assay Kit offers a simple, convenient, and rapid approach for assessing β-Xylosidase activity, which is suitable for plant tissue, bacteria, and fungi samples. The principle involves β-xylosidase catalyzing the production of p-nitrophenol from p-nitrophenyl-β-D-xyloside. p-Nitrophenol exhibits a characteristic absorption peak at 405 nm. By measuring the rate of increase in absorbance at 405 nm, the β-xylosidase activity can be calculated.

Storage at 4°C and Keep from light immediately upon receipt. Kit has a storage time of 6 months from receipt. Refer to list of materials supplied for storage conditions of individual components.

• If not assayed immediately, samples can be stored at -80°C for one month.• It is recommended to perform several dilutions of your sample to ensure the readings are within the standard value range.• Fresh samples are necessary for good results. If don't perform the assay at the same time, it's better to complete the Sample Preparation step before storing the samples.
