Gynemed Collagenase 3 ml

Designed for digestion of human testicular tissue obtained by testicular biopsy (TESE). Using Collagenase, it is possible to degrade testicular tissue in single cells to facilitate the isolation of sperm cells, that can be used for the microinjection into oocytes (ICSI).

• Alternative method to mechanical mincing of biopsy tissue via enzymatic digestion.
• The Collagenase is obtained from culture filtrates of Clostridium histolyticum.
• pH (at 37°C) 7.20-7.70
• Osmolality (mOsm/kg) 270-310
• Activity of 1000 CDU/ml (Collagen Digestion Units)
