“Ultra-pure enzyme, thus low protein concentrations, and multiple higher activity for hard-to-cleave analytes across a wide range of drug concentrations.”

BGTurbo®

There are over 8,000 different β-glucuronidases that have been identified in nature.  BGTurbo® can catalyze complete hydrolysis of all glucuronides in just 10 minutes.

 

Finden’s most loyal battle horse. BGTurbo® is a highly purified recombinant β-Glucuronidase that has demonstrated its capacity to hydrolyze the most difficult and sensitive analytes in 10 minutes at 55°C.

Product Overview

Description

BGTurbo® High efficiency Recombinant β-Glucuronidase, provides one of the highest hydrolytic activity for the broadest spectrum of conjugated analytes, including “hard to cleave” glucuronides, particularly opiates and opioids such as codeine-6-glucuronide. This ultra-pure aqueous enzyme provides reliable results for high throughput clinical, forensic, workplace drug testing or other kinds of drug testing laboratories. Flash hydrolysis and sample prep with BGTurbo® eliminate sample preparation bottle-necks while enabling automated hydrolysis and same-day report of accurate and reproducible analytical results.

We have carefully developed BGTurbo® using extensive protein modeling and wet-lab screening to create a massively optimized β-glucuronidase that not only provides one of the fastest hydrolysis, but also preserves specimen and peak integrity by eliminating unwanted conversion and minimizing background noise.

Recombinant, high-efficiency BGTurbo® maximizes LC-MS/MS production capacity and return-on-investment, is automation friendly, and is both exceptionally pure and near-perfectly consistent.

We provide you with the best hydrolysis so you can do the most for the people relying on your answers. That is what BGTurbo® offers you.Learn about the BGTurbo benefitsSpecifications
