CalB: High activity enzyme for transesterification

Applications: include: Valorisation, Biodiesel, Chemical Synthesis, Pharmaceutical.

Properties: Our Candida antarctica Lipase B (CalB) is a highly versatile and industry-proven biocatalyst widely used in pharmaceuticals, fine chemicals, polymers, and biodiesel production. Known for its exceptional stability and selectivity, CalB efficiently catalyses hydrolysis, esterification, and transesterification reactions across a broad range of substrates. Its high enantioselectivity makes it particularly valuable for producing chiral intermediates in drug synthesis, while its robustness allows reliable performance in both aqueous and organic solvent systems. Available in both free and immobilized formats, CalB offers consistent activity, easy integration into existing processes, and the ability to support greener, more sustainable manufacturing by reducing harsh chemicals and energy requirements. For laboratories and industrial producers alike, CalB delivers dependable catalytic performance and scalable efficiency in modern biocatalysis applications.
