Dual-enzyme system combining animal-free collagenase and neutral protease for high-fidelity extracellular matrix (ECM) digestion in RUO workflows. Animal Free Collagenase Neutral Protease (Catalog B2012710, 10 mg) is a lyophilized, biotechnology-grade reagent expertly formulated to deliver robust tissue dissociation while eliminating the risk of animal-derived contaminants. By merging Clostridium histolyticum collagenase and Bacillus polymyxa neutral protease in a single, highly pure package, it accelerates both collagen fiber breakdown and broad-spectrum proteolysisideal for complex biochemical and immunological protocols.

The animal-free formulation ensures traceability and compatibility with regenerative medicine, stem cell research, primary cell isolation, and other sensitive applications where animal-derived components must be avoided. The combination enzyme is particularly useful in workflows involving dense tissue types or protocols requiring sequential or simultaneous degradation of collagen and non-collagen matrix components. Its lyophilized format offers long shelf life, consistent activity, and flexibility in reconstitution and dosing.

Manufactured to high biotech standards, the enzyme blend is dissolved in ultrapure Type I water and filtered through 0.22 m, guaranteeing minimal impurities and reproducibility across lots. Whether used in histopathology preparation, ECM component extraction, or as a tool in proteomic sample prep, this reagent simplifies workflow complexity by consolidating two enzymatic activities into one high-performance, RUO-ready product. For labs scaling experimental throughput or validating robust protocols, custom bulk orders are also available to ensure uninterrupted access to this essential dual-enzyme solution.

Why researchers choose this product:

• Animal-free formulation removes concerns about mammalian contaminants and variability
• Dual-enzyme activity ensures efficient, comprehensive ECM digestion
• Lyophilized, biotechnology-grade format facilitates flexible usage and extended stability
• High purity and traceability support reproducibility in RUO workflows
• Suitable for tissue dissociation, proteomic prep, primary cell isolation, and scale-up protocols

Indication for Use:
This product is for Research Use Only (RUO). It is not intended for diagnostic, therapeutic, or clinical applications.
