Biocatalysis is a great way to innovate, improve process efficiency, save costs and develop novel processes that are environmentally friendly.
An immobilized enzyme is more than a biocatalyst, and in many instances offers significant advantages over native enzymes. Although native enzymes can only be used one time (making their use costly), an immobilized enzyme is a robust catalytic agent, with diverse advantages and applications.

Immobilized enzymes can be:

• Recycled
• Filtered
• Washed 
• and Regenerated

They can be used:

• in water
• with organic solvents
• in biphasic systems
• at high temperatures
• in different reactor configurations

An immobilized enzyme is made up of 90% carrier and 10% enzyme—with the carrier playing a ...
