Collagenase AF-1 GMP Grade- Animal Free

For Cell Isolation from Pancreas, Adipose Tissue and Tumors

Collagenase AF-1 GMP Grade is derived from C.histolyticum using a production process completely free of any animal-based components. Thus, any risk of transmission of potential animal-derived pathogens is excluded. This highly purified collagenase, often used in combination with Neutral Protease AF GMP Grade, is suitable for the dissociation of sensitive cells from several tissues or organs such as pancreas, liver or tumors. It has been shown to be highly effective for the isolation of islets of Langerhans from human pancreas intended for transplantation, stromal vascular fraction (SVF) from adipose tissue and tumor cells.

Unit definition: 

*Endotoxin: Ph. Eur. (1 Endotoxin Unit is equal to 1 International Unit of a WHO approved reference standard endotoxin (RSE)).

**PZ Unit (acc. to Wünsch2): 
1 U according to Wünsch catalyzes the hydrolysis of 1 µmol 4-phenylazobenzyloxycarbonyl-L-prolyl-L-leucylglycyl-L-prolyl-D-arginine per minute at 25 °C, pH 7.1.

***Neutral Protease: 
1 DMC Unit catalyzes the cleavage of 1 µmol peptide bond from dimethylcasein per minute at 25 °C, pH 7.0, expressed in terms of newly formed terminal amino groups, determined with TNBS.3
