Accutase® Cell Detachment Solution

Accutase® as a cell detachment solution of proteolytic and collagenolytic enzymes useful for the routine detachment of cells from standard tissue culture plastic ware and adhesion coated plastic ware. The reagent is useful for creating single cell suspensions from clumped cell cultures for accurate cell counting, detachment of cells from primary tissue. It is much better suited for cell detachment than trypsin. Proven effective in detaching primary fibroblasts, endothelial cells, neurons, tumor cell lines, and insect cells.

Accutase® does not contain mammalian or bacterial derived products. For that reason Accutase® virus or endotoxin contaminations are excluded. Once thawed Accutase® can be used for about 1 week if stored at +2°C to +8°C. Shelf-life at -20°C is 12 months.
