Description
Worthington Collagenase Type 5 contains higher collagenase and caseinase activities and is particularly suited for the dissociation of dense connective tissues and collagen-rich extracellular matrices. Typical applications include synovial tissue, articular cartilage, meniscus, tumor tissue, and umbilical cord-derived Wharton’s jelly for the isolation of fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS), chondrocytes, mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), and other stromal cell populations.
