Pancreatin (From Pig Pancreas) – 100 g

Pancreatin is an enzyme mixture derived from pig pancreas, supplied in a 100 g pack for educational biology and biochemistry laboratories. Pancreatin contains a combination of digestive enzymes, including amylase, lipase, and protease, making it a valuable reagent for demonstrating complex digestion and enzyme activity.

Identified by CAS Number: 8049‑47‑6 and with no UN number, pancreatin is not classified as hazardous for transport when handled appropriately. Supplied in powdered form, it offers good stability, long shelf life, and flexibility in preparing enzyme solutions for classroom practicals.

The 100 g pack size is suitable for departments carrying out repeated enzyme investigations or extended teaching programmes covering digestion and metabolism.
