Brief Product Information

Collagenase NB 6 GMP Grade
This collagenase has an activity of ≥ 0.1 PZ U/mg and a balanced mix of proteolytic side activities. It is manufactured according to GMP guidelines and sterile according to European Pharmacopoeia.

Collagenase NB 8 Broad Range 
This product is characterized by a high collagenase activity (≥ 0.9 PZ U/mg) and reduced levels of proteolytic side activities. 

Collagenase NB 7D Gentle Grade
This product is characterized by a slightly higher collagenase activity with low tryptic activities ideal to preserve cell-surface proteins.

Collagenase NB 4G Proved Grade 
This product has a collagenase activity of ≥ 0.18 PZ U/mg and a balanced mix of proteolytic side activities.

Collagenase NB 4 Standard Grade
This product has a collagenase activity of ≥ 0.1 PZ U/mg and a balanced mix of proteolytic side activities. 

Isolation Note

The suggested Nordmark Collagenase NB concentrations and isolation conditions should be regarded as starting points. Collagenase NB dosage is recommended in PZ units and DMC units for Neutral Protease NB to ensure consistent results.
