Specifications:

TrypZean®, bovine recombinant, expressed in Zea mays Storage temperature: 2-8˚C

TrypZean® provides the following advantages:

  • Certified animal-free, TrypZean® eliminates the risk of animal-source contaminants such as viruses and bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE).

  • TrypZean® is free of contaminants associated with animal source trypsin and therefore can be used in lower concentrations in some applications [4].

Commerical applications include:

  • Cell culture: Dissociation of attachment–dependent cell lines from plasticware in serum-free and serum-supplemented systems

  • Insulin manufacture: Cleaves “C” peptide from proinsulin to form active insulin

  • Vaccine manufacture: Cleaves undesirable antigens from cells in both human and veterinary vaccine manufacture
