Description
Dispase ACF (Animal Component Free) for Stem Cell Isolation
Dispase ACF (Animal Component Free) is a high-purity neutral protease enzyme specifically designed for tissue dissociation, primary cell isolation, and stem cell culture workflows. Produced using animal–component–free fermentation processes, this enzyme offers a reliable and ethically sourced alternative for laboratories requiring contamination-free reagents in advanced biomedical research.
Dispase is a mild amino-endoprotease that cleaves peptide bonds at the N-terminal side of non-polar amino acid residues. Unlike harsher proteolytic enzymes, Dispase provides controlled enzymatic digestion that allows efficient tissue separation while preserving cell surface proteins and maintaining membrane integrity. This makes it particularly suitable for the isolation and passaging of delicate primary cells and stem cells.
With a molecular weight of approximately 32.5 kDa, Dispase ACF offers consistent enzymatic activity and reproducibility in a wide range of cell culture and tissue dissociation protocols. Its gentle enzymatic action allows researchers to obtain high-quality cell suspensions without compromising cell viability or function.
Because it is produced without animal-derived materials, Dispase ACF is ideal for laboratories that require animal–component–free reagents for sensitive research applications, including stem cell biology, regenerative medicine, and advanced cell culture systems.
