Did you know? 99% of enzymatic assays use colorimetric assays. This technique that can be automated allows to measure a visible or invisible color (UV), using a spectrometer. Colorimetric assays make it possible to know the enzymatic activity of a solution.
The assays are carried out daily, 4 to 8 times a day for 150 to 200 samples. Depending on the product analyzed, the assay can take from a few minutes to several hours.
The data is thus analyzed and compared to the expected values.
At Soufflet Biotechnologies, the laboratory that performs these assays has 8 full-time employees.
