Animal Free Collagenase Type C – Catalog # B2012673 (10 mg)

High-purity, animal-free collagenase tailored for reliable extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation in advanced molecular and immunological workflows. Animal Free Collagenase Type C (Catalog #B2012673, 10 mg) provides a refined enzymatic solution derived from *Clostridium histolyticum* and lacks any animal-sourced components—making it ideal for sensitive RUO applications, such as regenerative medicine research, organoid development, proteomic sample prep, and primary cell dissociation where animal contaminants must be avoided. Supplied as a ready-to-use solution, this collagenase ensures convenient handling, accurate dosing, and immediate integration into experimental assays.

This versatile collagenase has been adopted widely in biochemical and immunological contexts, from controlled ECM remodeling to tissue dissociation and protein isolation workflows. Its purity and filtration through 0.22 µm membranes, along with ultrapure water preparation, ensure minimal background and interference—crucial for downstream analysis stability and data integrity. Researchers performing sensitive multi-step protocols will benefit from the lot-to-lot consistency and traceable manufacturing standards provided by this biotechnology-grade reagent.

Animal Free Collagenase Type C supports reproducibility and robustness across diverse research landscapes, including ECM-targeting assays, cell culture prep, and comparative protease activity evaluations. Additionally, custom bulk quantities are available, enabling scalable deployment across long-term projects and high-throughput initiatives. Labs seeking a dependable collagenase that delivers performance without biological ambiguity will find this product an optimal molecular tool.
