Potency: Minimum 3000 IU of hyaluronidase activity per milligram (of dry substance).ProductionAnimals used for producing hyaluronidase Enzymes extracted from mammalian testes (e.g., sheep testes) can hydrolyze mucopolysaccharides of the hyaluronic acid type. They may contain a suitable stabilizer. Potency: Minimum 3000 IU of hyaluronidase activity per milligram (of dry substance).ProductionAnimals used for producing hyaluronidase must meet the health requirements for animals intended for human consumption.Characteristics1.Appearance: White or yellowish-white, amorphous powder.2.Solubility: Soluble in water, almost insoluble in acetone and absolute ethanol.IdentificationA solution containing 100 IU of hyaluronidase in 1 mL of 9 g/L sodium chloride solution depolymerizes a 10 g/L sodium hyaluronate BRP solution at 20°C, resulting in a significant decrease in viscosity. Heating the hyaluronidase at 100°C for 30 minutes destroys this effect.Tests1.Appearance of Solution: The solution should be clear. Dissolve 0.10 g in water and dilute to 10 mL with the same solvent.2.pH: 4.5 to 7.5. Dissolve 30 mg in carbon dioxide-free water and dilute to 10 mL with the same solvent.3.Loss on Drying: Maximum 5.0%. Determine by drying 0.500 g at 60°C under a pressure not exceeding 670 Pa for 2 hours.4.Bacterial Endotoxins: ≤ 0.2 EU/IU.AssayThe activity of hyaluronidase is determined using a slope-ratio assay, by comparing the rate at which it hydrolyzes sodium hyaluronate BRP with the rate obtained using the International Standard or a reference preparation calibrated in International Units.Substrate SolutionIn a 25 mL conical flask, add 0.10 g of sodium hyaluronate BRP, then slowly add 20.0 mL of water at 4°C. The addition rate must be slow enough to allow the substrate particles to swell (approximately 5 minutes). Maintain at 4°C and stir for at least 12 hours. Store at 4°C and use within 4 days.For both the test solution and the reference solution, prepare the solutions and perform dilutions at 0°C to 4°C.1.Test Solution: Dissolve an appropriate amount of the substance in hyaluronidase diluent to obtain a solution containing 0.6 ± 0.3 IU of hyaluronidase per mL.2.Reference Solution: Dissolve an appropriate amount of hyaluronidase BRP in hyaluronidase diluent to obtain a solution containing 0.6 IU of hyaluronidase per mL.In a reaction vessel, mix 1.50 mL of phosphate buffer solution (pH 6.4) and 1.0 mL of the substrate solution, and equilibrate at 37 ± 0.1°C. At time t₀ = 0 (using the first timer), add 0.50 mL of the test solution containing E milligrams of the enzyme to be tested, mix well. Maintain the mixture at 37 ± 0.1°C using a suitable viscometer, record the flow time t using a second timer (with 0.1-second intervals), and perform multiple measurements over approximately 20 minutes (monitoring with the first timer). Use the following viscometer: microviscometer (DIN 51 562, Part 2), capillary type MII, with a viscometer constant of approximately 0.1 mm²/s².Repeat the above procedure using 0.50 mL of the reference solution containing hyaluronidase BRP. Calculate the viscosity ratio using the following expression:K = Viscometer constant (in mm²/s², indicated on the viscometer);t₂ = Flow time of the solution (in seconds);0.6915 = Kinematic viscosity of the buffer solution at 37°C (in mm²/s).Since the enzymatic reaction continues during the flow time measurement, the actual reaction time is equal to t₀ + t/2 (i.e., half of the flow time (t/2) is added to the initial measurement time t₀). Plot (ln η)⁻¹ as a function of the reaction time (t₀ + t/2) (in seconds); a linear relationship should be obtained. Calculate the slope (b) of the substance to be tested and the slope (bᵣ) of the reference preparation. Determine the specific activity in International Units per milligram using the following expression:A = Specific activity of hyaluronidase BRP (in International Units per milligram).Perform at least three complete sets of the procedure and calculate the average activity of the substance to be tested.StorageStore in a tightly closed container at a temperature of 2°C to 8°C. If the substance is sterile, the container should also be sterile and tamper-proof...

Do not store together with: Oxidizing agent. 4. Contaminated or leaked out substrate solution from damaged bottles should not be used anymore and has to be destroyed.5. Use isolated containers with some cool bags for transport.6. Spontaneous decay will increase the background. If stored at room temperature, the velocity of the decay will increase. Thus, both storage and transport at room temperature should be avoided. Nevertheless, the activity of the solution is not affected by storage at room temperature. The solution still works beyond the expiry date, but some applications, especially those including visual evaluation, may be hampered by increased background. 3、Effective Components and Principle of FunctionIn different buffer solutions (pH = 9.5), with supplementation if required, the effective componentpara nitrophenyl phosphate (pNPP) is dissolved. Alkaline Phosphatase transfers the phosphate residue to an acceptor. Under alkaline conditions a yellow colour occurs, resulting from the formed nitrophenol. 4、Biosafety informationThis mixture is not classified as hazardous in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008； 5、Advantage1. Signal yield comparable to competitor ready-to-use solutions2. Broad measurement range3. Very low background signals4. Very low blank drift during long-term storage (<0.15 AU within 24 months)5. High colour stability after reaction stop with this product and other commonly used stopping solutions 6、Instruction for usageFor bottling consider the following instructions:• Work in a dust free and darkened room.• Keep the solution as cool as possible.• Avoid contact of the solutions with any metal parts• Clean all instruments and vessels very extensively.• Wear powder-free gloves during bottling.• Close the bottles immediately to minimize the influence of light and dust.• Use clean bottles that are impermeable to light made from HDPE or PP. 7、 General Instructions for the Use in Blotting Systems Only qualified laboratory staff, who are familiar with the basics of immunological methods, are allowed to use these solutions.The substrate solutions can be used in qualitative and quantitative ELISA procedures.When using 96-well microtiter plates, adding 100 µL of substrate per well after incubation and washing is recommended. After substrate incubation the reaction can be stopped and the photometric measurement can be carried out. Using higher incubation temperatures (37° C) may shorten the incubation time. The reaction can be stopped by using the special developed solution stop. The use of other commercially available stop solutions cannot safely exclude a further increase of the signal. Addition of a stopping solution does not change the general shape of the spectrum. The unstopped and the stopped solution should be measured at 405 nm and the background correction: should be measured at 620 nm... Read More | Inquire | Protein:BovineEnzyme:Horseradish peroxidase |
