And with reliable instrumentation, you can facilitate a simple method transfer from R&D to the QA/QC floor. With the flexibility and automation of the Gallery Plus Enzyme Master enzyme analyzer, you’re all set to meet your lab’s current needs—and your future needs, too.
Enzyme assays are laboratory methods that measure the rate of enzyme reactions (enzyme activity). These assays also help to develop enzyme discovery and study enzyme catalytic mechanisms. Enzyme activity and enzyme assay are vital for the study of enzyme kinetics and enzyme inhibition. Usually the assay is carried out by determining the enzyme activity with and without activation by an added coenzyme. The activity can be monitored by measuring changes in concentration of substrates or products during the reaction.
A better way: Automate your enzyme assay analysis
From method development to routine analysis, set it and forget it: Enzyme efficiency finally mastered
Break free from the limitations of UV-VIS spectrophotometric enzyme assay. The Gallery Plus Enzyme Master enzyme analyzer efficiently manages many different enzymes and measuring conditions—all in a single instrument that offers consistent and reliable performance. You’ll appreciate fully-automated reagents, incubations, and measurements that ensure your method and results can be easily duplicated in other labs, and the time- and labor-savings speak for themselves.
Reliable enzyme assay using a suitable high-throughput screening (HTS) is crucial for enzyme discovery, enzyme engineering, enzyme production monitoring, and drug discovery processes. Developing sensitive enzyme assays suitable for high-throughput screening requires identification of relevant enzyme and substrates forms, careful measurements of kinetic parameters, buffers, pH, and choice of a detection technology for the final assay. Method development starts with identifying the key method variables through design of experiment (DoE), which requires many sets of samples to be tested for enzyme activities.
See how the Gallery Plus Enzyme Master enzyme analyzer will automate your workflow and give you the ability to provide parallel optimal pH measurements, full traceability, and reliable method development and transferability.
Why is optimal pH critical in enzyme assay?
pH is a critical parameter in method development and routine enzyme assay measurement. pH affects enzyme activity and charge. pH also affects shape of the substrate so that the substrate can not bind to the active site can not be catalyzed to form the final product. All enzymes have an ideal pH value, which is called optimal pH. Under optimal pH conditions, each enzyme shows the maximum activity. Determination of the optimal pH in a coupled enzyme assay poses significant challenges because altering the pH of the reaction mixture can affect the performance of both enzymes.
The Gallery Plus Enzyme Master enzyme analyzer with the electrochemistry measurement unit (ECM) allows the parallel determination of sample pH and makes sure that this critical parameter is measured for all the samples.

Gallery Enzyme Master enzyme analyzer customer testimonials
Sofie Wendel, Senior Department Manager, Assay Technology & Analytics at Novozymes A/S
“Our enzyme assays were developed and standardized based on legacy discrete analyzers. Our continued collaboration with Thermo Scientific resulted in improved and customized software for enzyme assays, and we replaced all the legacy discrete analyzers with the new Gallery Enzyme Master enzyme analyzers. The Gallery Enzyme Master delivers an efficient solution to the challenges of enzyme analysis, providing a tight temperature control, generating robust results. A major advantage is that the Gallery Enzyme Master makes transferability across the globe easier by enabling distribution from a central method development lab.”
Erica Fritse, Global QC Governance Manager at DSM
“When needing an alternative for our aging population of Discrete Analyzers, we decided to replace it with the new Thermo Scientific Gallery Plus. The Gallery Enzyme Master ensures that we can continue with temperature-controlled measurement of the activity of our enzymes. We use the Gallery Enzyme Master for R&D development and QC release on one easy-to-use, automated system. A big advantage is the central, global management of the measuring protocols. This makes assurance of the use of the latest updated methods easier than ever before.”
