RUO · P10-032100
Gentle on membranes

Dispase II is a neutral metalloprotease from Bacillus polymyxa, supplied at 2.4 U/ml in DPBS without Ca and Mg. This purified, animal-origin-free protease hydrolyses N-terminal peptide bonds of non-polar amino acids and acts mildly, which makes it gentle on cell membranes and well suited to preparing primary cells and to subcultivation. It is commonly used to separate epidermis from dermis, for stem cell and hepatocyte isolation, and as a secondary enzyme alongside collagenase.

Mild dissociation that spares membranes. A neutral protease from Bacillus polymyxa for gentle primary-cell and tissue work.

Why Dispase II Neutral Protease, Grade II

  • Gentle action – mild proteolysis that is kind to cell membranes.
  • Animal-origin free – produced from Bacillus polymyxa.
  • Versatile – epidermis/dermis separation, stem cell and hepatocyte isolation.
  • Pairs with collagenase – effective as a secondary dissociation enzyme.

Frequently asked questions

What is Dispase II Neutral Protease, Grade II?

Dispase II is a neutral metalloprotease from Bacillus polymyxa, supplied at 2.4 U/ml in DPBS without Ca and Mg. This purified, animal-origin-free protease hydrolyses N-terminal peptide bonds of non-polar amino acids and acts mildly, which makes it gentle on cell membranes and well suited to preparing primary cells and to subcultivation. It is commonly used to separate epidermis from dermis, for stem cell and hepatocyte isolation, and as a secondary enzyme alongside collagenase.

How is Dispase II Neutral Protease, Grade II used?

Submerge tissue fragments in Dispase solution and incubate at 37 °C with slow stirring until dissociated; for more efficient dissociation combine with collagenase.

How is Dispase II Neutral Protease, Grade II stored?

Store at -20 °C. Stable 2 months from production. Inhibited by EDTA, EGTA and heavy metals.
