Collagenase Type II, 1 g

A lyophilized enzyme preparation derived from Clostridium histolyticum, Collagenase Type II from STEMCELL Technologies supports gentle dissociation of mammalian connective tissue during cell isolation workflows. Supplied as a 1 g vial of dry powder, this research-grade reagent is widely used for digesting stromal components during islet isolation from rodent pancreas, hepatocyte preparation from liver, and release of stromal cell populations from organs including lung, kidney, and adipose tissue.

The enzyme cleaves the triple-helical structure of native collagen fibers, releasing intact, viable cells for downstream applications such as primary cell culture, flow cytometry, and transplantation studies. Each lot is quality tested for enzymatic activity and endotoxin levels, supporting reproducible cell yields across multiple digestions.

Reconstitute the lyophilized powder in an appropriate buffer such as Hanks' Balanced Salt Solution. Refrigerate the dry powder for short-term stability, or aliquot and freeze at -20 °C for extended storage; protect from moisture. For research use only.
