FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1 What is Trypsin (EC 3.4.21.4) primarily used for?

Trypsin is commonly used for 🧫 cell dissociation/passaging, 💉 vaccine cell harvesting, 🧬 proteomics digestion for LC-MS/MS, 💊 proinsulin processing in insulin manufacturing, and 🩹 enzymatic wound debridement.

Q2 What are the recommended pH and temperature for Trypsin activity?

For optimal performance, use Trypsin at pH 7.0–9.0 and 37°C, matching typical cell culture and proteolysis conditions.

Q3 How should I interpret “USP: 2,500+ USP units/mg” on the label?

This reflects enzyme activity per milligram based on USP testing; higher activity can enable faster cleavage at equivalent dosage, pending application-specific validation.

Q4 Do you offer animal-free Trypsin options?

Yes. Animal-free options are available, including recombinant (corn) trypsin and related alternatives suitable for GMP cell therapy manufacturing.

Q5 What storage conditions maximize shelf life?

Shelf life is 36 months at -20°C and 12 months at 2–8°C. Keep the lyophilized powder sealed and follow COA/TDS storage guidance provided with your shipment.
