Dispase is a bacillus-derived neutral metalloprotease that is recommended for recovering cell cultured on Corning® Matrigel® Basement Membrane Matrix. Dispase will yield a single cell suspension far more gently and effectively than trypsin, collagenase, or other proteolytic enzymes; it will not harm cells harvested for sub cultivation or bioassays. In addition, Dispase may be used for tissue dissociation. Dispase cleaves fibronectin, collagen IV, and to a lesser extent collagen I, but is does not cleave collagen V or laminin.
- Tested for ability to solubilise a 1 mm thick layer of gelled BD Matrigel™ matrix after two hours at 37 °C
- Filtered and tested and found negative for bacteria, fungi, and mycoplasma
