Surfactant enhanced lipase containing films characterized by confocal laser scanning microscopy.

Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) in combination with a fluorescently labeling enzyme dye, LavaPurple™, was demonstrated as a technique for the visualization of Thermomyces (Humicola) lanuginosa lipase (LIP(HLL)) and Candida antarctica lipase A (LIP(CA)) within a transparent latex coating. Addition of Teric Surfactants (C(16) non-ionic Teric 475, 1.8% (w/w) or C(10) non-ionic Teric 460, 2.
