by Jessica Helweg | Sep 16, 2019

Maybe. It is very difficult to do for several reasons. First, the assays reported on the Certificate of Analysis do not provide sufficient detail to define the different functional forms of collagenase. Collagenase in crude or enriched collagenase products contain...

What factors should be tightly controlled to ensure effective release of cells from tissue?

by Jessica Helweg | Sep 16, 2019

The success of cell isolation requires excess collagen degradation activity and selection of an appropriate neutral protease used at an optimal dose. This statement reflects the two assumptions of enzymatic tissue dissociation: Enriched or purified collagenase (with...
