For degradation test for hydrogel, I am supposed to use lysozyme (10,000u/ml) with phosphate buffer saline(ph 7.4).
Is there an inexpensive alternative for lysozyme that would get the work done?
Thanks in advance.
Hello S. Ranga,
You can see the following articles:

that is depend on the materials of hydrogel. if your hydrogel based on proteins you can utilize pepsin or trypsin
