The widest Variety of enzyme immobilization materials in one place.

Great materials for great results

If you are immobilizing enzymes then probably the biggest single factor in your success is selecting the right support material. Fortunately, Solidzymes has amassed a collection of all the best materials from dependable suppliers. We have the unbiased expertise to put them all to the test for you. But we could not provide this service without the cooperation of our suppliers. These are the same companies that will supply your materials once small scale testing is finished at Solidzymes.

Read on for an introduction to our suppliers of enzyme immobilization materials.

Cascade Bio

Cascade Bio is a relatively new player in the industry. They began producing enzyme immobilization materials in 2020. They use their proprietary Body Armor for Enzyme™ coatings to protect enzymes immobilized covalently on silica particles. This can be good for any enzyme, but is particularly attractive for sensitive enzymes that need protecting. Cascade Bio produces 10 kg batches of material with plans to produce 100 kg batches in 2026. Their lead times vary widely, but small testing kits can be ordered in 1-2 weeks.

ChiralVision

ChiralVision has been producing enzyme immobilization materials since 2006. They leverage their expertise in surface chemistry to offer a wide array of differently coated beads – called “immobeads” for enzyme immobilization. They offer small batches of custom materials and large batches of bulk materials, sometimes working with partners such as Sunresin to meet needs for large scale production.

DuPont

DuPont has a long history in the industry. They have been manufacturing materials for enzyme immobilization ever since 1985. Over the decades they have researched and designed precision products including resins to immobilize lipases, amylases, transferases, and many others. DuPont’s polymeric resins are made in batches up to hundreds of cubic meters and enzyme immobilization resins ship with a lead time of 6-8 weeks.

Ecovyst

Ecovyst is a long-established company with a new interest in enzyme immobilization products starting in 2023. They offer custom designed as well as off-the-shelf silica products for covalent or ionic enzyme immobilization. They are equipped to produce (multiple) two metric ton batches with a lead time of six to eight weeks.

Resindion

Resindion has been manufacturing resins for enzyme immobilization since the early 2000s. They are backed by the extensive experience of Mitsubishi Chemical, which has been active in this field since the 1980s. Thanks to these decades of expertise, they produce durable polymeric materials that can withstand the rigors of industrial applications. Their brands include Relizyme, the upgrade from the former well-known Sepabeads EC line, specifically designed for enzyme immobilization, and other portfolio products like Diaion and Relite. They offer multi-ton quantities of enzyme immobilization materials with a lead time of a few months.

Sunresin

Sunresin has been offering enzyme immobilization products since 2013. They offer a wide selection of polymeric materials for covalent, ionic, or adsorption based enzyme immobilization. They are able to help customers develop bespoke materials or immobilize enzymes at scale. They manufacture products three tons at a time and their lead time is two to twelve weeks depending on supply.

The Solidzymes Approach

At Solidzymes, our approach to enzyme immobilization is to use already available materials to speed up biocatalyst development and insure scalability. We found that most enzymes (Lactase Case Study) can be successfully immobilized using multiple carriers from our collection. This leaves the customer free to choose their material based on factors such as price, supply chain dependability, and process compatibility. Do not settle for few options. Let Solidzymes develop your biocatalyst to make sure you are using the right materials from the start!
