The broad specificity of SIGMAFAST^™ Protease Inhibitor Cocktail Tablets makes them suitable for use in the purification of histidine-tagged proteins and as a general-purpose protease inhibitor cocktail. The tablets can also be used as components of buffers for cell lysis, and have been optimized and tested for use with HIS-Select^® media.

Inhibits serine, cysteine, aspartic, and metalloproteases.

EDTA-Free: Contains no strong metal chelators, such as EDTA, which might interfere with IMAC processing.

Pepstatin A: Contains a unique, proprietary formulation that includes a pepstatin A salt for additional protection not normally obtained in a tablet format.

Broad Specificity: Inhibits serine, cysteine, aspartic, and metalloproteases, providing broad protection for protein samples.

High Yield: One tablet makes 100 mL of cocktail, and is recommended for the inhibition of the proteases present in a maximum of 20 g of cell mass in 100 mL of extract.

Long Stability: The tablets are stable as supplied for at least 2 years at 2–8 °C, and the reconstituted protease inhibitor solution (1´ or 10´) is stable for at least 2 weeks at 2–8 °C.
