Do Pierce Protease Inhibitor Tablets (Cat. No. A32963) dissolve quickly?
Pierce Protease Inhibitor Tablets (Cat. No. A32963) dissolve quickly to form a clear solution. We recommend dissolving 1 tablet in 50 mL of buffer or lysate. The protease inhibitor formulation is compatible with most detergent-based cell lysis reagents, including Pierce Cell Lysis solutions. Pierce Protease Inhibitor Tablets do not contain phosphatase inhibitors. If necessary, phosphatase inhibitors, such as Pierce Phosphatase Inhibitor Mini Tablets (Cat. No. A32957) can be added along with the protease inhibitor tablets.

Can I use just part of the Pierce Protease Inhibitor XL Capsules, EDTA-Free and save part of the capsule for later use?
We do not recommend splitting the capsule into smaller portions. Researchers using less than 500 mL should choose a different format (liquid or tablet) of protease inhibitors.

What formats of protease inhibitors do you offer?
We offer standalone protease inhibitors (AEBSF, Aprotinin, PMSF, EDTA, etc.), as well as cocktails or combinations of protease inhibitors in liquid, tablet, and larger capsule formats. These cocktails of protease inhibitors can also be purchased in combination with a cocktail of phosphatase inhibitors, in both liquid and tablet form, for even greater convenience.
