Experimental Biology
Our years of experience in enzyme purification put us in a position to assist individual researchers with special needs. We frequently do customized preparations of entirely new products, and we can make modifications of a regular production procedure on a custom basis. Furthermore, our quality control department can do special testing if needed.
Additional technical data, references and product information are available in our popular Worthington Enzyme Manual.
Working with primary cells? The Worthington Tissue Dissociation Guide provides a general introduction to the theory and techniques involved in primary cell isolation as well as a set of annotated references organized by tissue type. Worthington also offers the following use-tested kits:
- NEW Animal Free Collagenase (CLSAFA, AFB, AFC)
- STEMxyme® 1 & 2, AF Collagenase/Neutral Protease Blends
- AF Neutral Protease (Dispase®)
- Hepatocyte Isolation System (HIS)
- Neonatal Cardiomyocyte Isolation System (NCIS)
- Papain Dissociation System (PDS)
- Cell Isolation Optimizing System (CIT)
If your application requires collagenase, we encourage you to take advantage of our FREE Collagenase Sampling Program to pre-test the particular lot of enzyme you are planning to use in your experiment. As the world's leading manufacturer of collagenase, Worthington is able to offer the greatest number of different lots at any given time and recommend specific lots for an application.
