Scionix collaboration reaps rewards

Published: 1-Apr-2005


Scionix, in association with Leicester University and C-Tech innovation, has developed a user-friendly pack of deep eutectic solvents applicable for biocatalytic reactions. Deep eutectic solvents can be used like any other non-aqueous solvent for biocatalysis. Potential benefits of carrying out biocatalytic processes in these liquids include extended enzyme stability; potential for product selectivity and high substrate solubility.

The pack, developed by Scionix, contains four deep eutectic solvents with different properties and information about performance of biocatalytic reactions in these liquids. It gives researchers the opportunity to handle these novel solvents and to identify the benefits of deep eutectic solvents for biocatalysis.
