General description

A cell detachment solution of proteolytic, collagenolytic and DNAse enzymes. Useful on a variety of cells lines however not all cells or cell types are affected by ACCUMAX, also passage number and confluency can influence how well the reagent does because the amounts and makeup of the collagen extracellular matrix will vary with age and culture state. Because ACCUMAX is a more gentle, less univerally proteolytic cleavage mixture reagent amounts and incubation times need to be optimized for each cell system.

The reagent is useful for creating single cell suspensions from clumped cell cultures for accurate cell counting, detachment of cells from primary tissue and the routine detachment of cells from standard tissue culture plasticware and adhesion coated plasticware, including SmartPlastic. ACCUMAX does not contain mammalian or bacterial derived products.

Each lot of ACCUMAX is tested for Sterility (by USP membrane filtration method), enzymatic activity (tested with synthetic chromagenic tetrapeptides) and cell detachment from tissue culture plastic.



ACCUMAX has been used successfully on numerous cell types including: CHO, BHK, 293, COS, Sf9, and catfish primary hepatocyte cells.

Application

A cell detachment solution of proteolytic, collagenolytic & DNAse enzymes. The reagent is useful for creating single cell suspensions from clumped cell cultures for accurate cell counting, detachment of cells from primary tissue.

Physical form
