Results for tag: "Horseradish Peroxidase"

Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is an enzyme extensively used in biochemistry applications primarily for its ability to amplify a weak signal in biochemical assays. It is isolated from the roots of the horseradish plant and belongs to the peroxidase family of enzymes. HRP functions by catalyzing the oxidation of various organic and inorganic substrates by hydrogen peroxide, which results in a colorimetric or luminescent signal. These properties make HRP an ideal choice for enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA), Western blotting, histochemical staining, and in situ hybridization, among other laboratory techniques. The demand for HRP within the research and diagnostics industries reflects its utility in detecting the presence of specific proteins, antibodies, or other analytical targets. The marketplace for Horseradish Peroxidase comprises biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies that produce and supply the enzyme in various grades and formulations to meet the diverse needs of research and diagnostic applications. It is characterized by competition based on quality, purity, stability and the integration of HRP into ready-to-use kits for end-users. Companies operating in the Horseradish Peroxidase market include Thermo Fisher Scientific, Merck (also known as Sigma-Aldrich), Roche Diagnostics, BBI Solutions, and Toyobo Co., Ltd. These firms provide a range of HRP products and conjugates, often with proprietary modifications that enhance the enzyme's performance across various applications. Show Less Read more
