General description

Product Source: Isolated and purified from Clostridium histolyticum cultures devoid of animal containing reagents.
This product is manufactured in an ISO9001:2008 certified enviroment.

Crude collagenases are widely used in enzymatic primary cell isolation and tissue dissociation procedures. Most researchers employ either crude collagenase preparations such as Types I, II, III, and IV or chromatographically purified collagenase. EMD Millipore's Animal Free Collagenase, Type A, is prepared and purified from cultures grown in medium completely devoid of animal based components and designed for bioprocessing applications where introduction of animal derived pathogens, such as BSE,TSE and other mammalian viruses, must be prevented.

Physical form

Product is diafiltered with water, filtered through a 0.22 micron membrane and lyophilized in vials.

Storage and Stability

Store at 2-8°C. Further dilutions should be made into appropriate buffer and/or medium to which protein has been added, such as DMEM/1% Human Serum Albumin or equivalent.
