Features and Benefits
- Rapid, effective, yet gentle agent that liberates cells with minimal cell damage
- Maintains cell membrane integrity
- Non-mammalian source - free of mycoplasma and animal virus contamination
- Extremely stable to influences of temperature, pH, and interference by serum components
- Easily inactivated by chelating agents or by dilution
- Delivers higher activity and convenience
Unit Definition
A practical comparison of Roche units of Dispase® II with those cited in the Japanese literature (where Dispase® concentrations of 1,000 to 2,000 units/ml are not uncommon) suggests that one Roche unit equals approximately 600 Japanese units of dispase.
One unit of Roche Applied Science Dispase® equals 181 protease units (PU) measured as release of amino acids equivalent to 1 μg tyrosine per min and ml at pH 7.5 and +37 °C.
Preparation Note
Inhibitors: EDTA, EGTA, Hg2+, other heavy metals. Dispase is not inhibited by serum.
Working concentration: 0.6 to 2.4 U/ml
Working solution: Preparation of stock and working solutions:
To produce a 10 mg/ml stock solution, dissolve the lyophilized Dispase® II enzyme in HEPES-buffered saline (50 mM HEPES/KOH pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl). To produce the working solution, dilute the above stock solution with the culture medium for the isolated cells, at a final concentration of 0.6 to 2.4 U/ml. Note that concentrations higher than 2.4 U/ml are not recommended. For best results, filter the working solution using a 0.22 μm filter membrane.
Storage conditions (working solution): -15 to -25 °C
The reconstituted stock solution is stable at 2 to 8 °C for 2 weeks. For storage up to 2 months the stock solution should be frozen in aliquots. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing! The working solution diluted with PBS is stable at 2 to 8 °C for 3 days.
