10X Trypsin HBSS w/o calcium and magnesium, 100 mL
Product Description
Trypsin is a porcine pancreas-derived enzyme that is commonly used for the dissociation and disaggregation of anchorage-dependent mammalian cells and tissues. The concentration of trypsin necessary to dislodge cells from their substrate is dependent primarily on the cell type and the age of the culture.
Application Notes
Trypsin-EDTA solutions are used to release adherent cells from culture surfaces. They are generally composed of variable concentrations of natural porcine pancreas-derived trypsin and EDTA. Trypsin 1X solutions can range from 0.025% to 0.5%. The reasons for the range of concentrations are differences in required trypsin activity or potency; differences in incubation times; and cell line susceptibility. The concentration of trypsin necessary to dislodge cells from their substrate is dependent primarily on the cell type and the age of the culture. Various formulations should be tested to determine the best product for a specific application.

| Pack Size | 100 mL |
| pH | 5.0 - 6.0 |
| Source | Porcine (for trypsin) |
| Specific Activity | One USP trypsin unit is the activity causing a change in absorbance of 0.003 per minute under the conditions specified. |
| Specificity | The protease activity of trypsin is highly specific toward positively charged side chains with lysine and arginine. It forms complexes with α2-macroglobulin and can be used in the isolation of intact; detergent-free phycobilisomes and in the hydrolysis/condensation of carboxylic ester bonds. |
| Sterility | Sterile |
