L0950-100 – Accutase

Accutase

• Accutase is a “ready to use” cell detachment solution of proteolytic and collagenolytic enzymes.
• Accutase is the “gentler form” of Trypsin.
• It can replace Trypsin/EDTA for the detachment and dissociation of “anchorage-dependent” cells from surfaces.
• It can also be used on suspension cells to reduce clumping in preparation for counting.
• Key advantages of Accutase over the traditional Trypsin/EDTA:
  – Less damaging to cells
  – Increased cell viability
  – Lowered risk of introducing adventitious agents
  – Significant reduction of any mammalian or bacterially derived proteins
  – Enhanced plating efficiency
  – Improved cell morphology and cell growth characteristics
  – Particularly useful for cells grown in serum free/protein free culture environment
