What precautions should be taken when handling the product after opening?

To avoid moisture absorption of the enzyme powder, please allow it to return to room temperature in a sealed state before use. (Recommended conditions: around 25°C, humidity below 55%)

How should FPOX-CE be stored?

Please store at or below -20°C.

How is the activity of FPOX-CE measured?

An example of activity measurement: The oxidase activity is assayed in a reaction mixture containing fructosyl glycine as a substrate, peroxidase, 4-aminoantipyrine and TOOS. The production of hydrogen peroxide is colorimetrically evaluated by measuring absorbance at 555 nm.

What is the substrate specificity of FPOX-CE?

It shows 100% activity toward fructosyl valyl histidine (F-ValHis), 84% toward ε-fructosyl lysine (εF-Lys) and 53% toward Fructosyl-glycine (F-Gly).

What protease is used in combination with FPOX-CE for HbA1c measurement?

Please contact sales representative.

What stabilizers are used in FPOX-CE?

Sodium glutamate and EDTA are used as stabilizers.

How thermostable is FPOX-CE?

It is stable in liquid form below 45°C (Fig.4). In powder form, it remains stable at 37°C for at least one month (Fig.5).

What are the optimal pH and temperature for FPOX-CE?

The optimal pH is 7.5–8.0, and the optimal temperature is 35–42°C.

What is the molecular weight of FPOX-CE?

The molecular weight is approximately 60 kDa (gel filtration), and it exhibits a monomeric structure of 52 kDa (SDS-PAGE).

What are the main applications of FPOX-CE?

It is useful for the determination of HbA1c, an indicator for diabetes diagnosis and blood glucose control, in clinical analysis.
