Brightase-C

Tissue Dissociating enzyme for isolating primary cells

Brightase-C is a recombinant Grimontia hollisae collagenase that is expressed in Brevibacillus. Unlike the commonly used C. histolyticum  collagenase, Brightase-C can cleave sequences with glutamic acid and degrade undenatured type VI collagen.  Brightase-C is highly purified to remove contaminating proteinases, yielding improved run-to-run and lot-to-lot reproducibility.

No animal products are used in the production of Brightase-C.
