Sulfazyme™ β-AS (EC 3.1.6.1) is a purified recombinant variant of arylsulfatase derived from Sulfazyme™ PaS, specifically designed to hydrolyze boldenone sulfate and testosterone sulfate.

Choose between Sulfazyme™ PaS for general sulfatase needs, genetically engineered Sulfazyme DS for hydrolyzing dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS), or genetically engineered Sulfazyme β-AS for hydrolyzing boldenone sulfate, and testosterone sulfate. Additionally, Sulfazyme™ can be paired with our beta-glucuronidase to analyze both glucuronidated and sulfated metabolites simultaneously.

Physical Description: Clear aqueous solution
Specific Activity: ≥6.0 U/mg*
Storage Temperature: 2-8 °C
*One unit is equivalent to 1.0 micromole of 4-nitrocatechol sulfate hydrolyzed per minute at pH 8.0 and 25°C.
How to Use

Recommended reaction set up for boldenone sulfate and testosterone sulfate hydrolysis:

  1. Add MilliQ water to urine samples.
  2. Add 1 M Tris-HCl, pH 8.0 Buffer.
  3. Add internal standard or additional MilliQ water.
  4. Add Sulfazyme™ β-AS and mix gently.
  5. DO NOT VORTEX.
  6. Incubate at 37°C for 4 hours
