Gibco Trypsin-EDTA is made from trypsin powder, an irradiated mixture of proteases derived from porcine pancreas. Due to its digestive strength, trypsin solution is widely used for cell dissociation, routine cell culture passaging, and primary tissue dissociation. Concentrated forms of trypsin can be aseptically diluted to 1X using a balanced salt solution without calcium and magnesium. The trypsin concentration required for dissociation varies with cell type and experimental requirements. See the complete range of Gibco trypsin solutions and recommended dissociation conditions.

We offer a variety of trypsin formulations and animal origin-free TrypLE reagent that feature:
• Quality testing
• Documented traceability
• Dual-site cGMP Manufacturing

This trypsin is modified as follows:

With
• EDTA

Without
• Phenol Red

The complete formulation is available.

Quality testing
Gibco Trypsin solutions are tested for pH, osmolality, sterility, and performance. In addition, prior to manufacturing, the raw materials are verified for e-beam irradiation and tested for endotoxin, PPV, PCV 1/2, mycoplasma, bacterial, fungal, and viral contamination, as well as multiple activity assays, ash analysis, and moisture analysis.

Documented traceability
We can provide detailed documentation to meet your regulatory needs. Gibco Trypsin information available includes lot traceability, animal origin certificates, lot analyses, irradiation certificates, a viral inactivation summary, and supply chain transparency.

cGMP manufacturing and quality system
For supply chain continuity, we manufacture Gibco Trypsin-EDTA (0.5%), no phenol red at two separate facilities located in Grand Island, NY and Scotland, UK. Both sites are compliant with cGMP manufacturing requirements and are certified to the ISO 13485 standard.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

I received Trypsin-EDTA (0.5%), no phenol red (Cat. No. 15400054) with ice packs instead of dry ice and the product was partially melted. Is it OK to use?

Trypsin is shipped on wet ice as the shipment on dry ice can cause changes in pH which influences the product quality negatively. If you receive the trypsin thawed or partially thawed, the stability and functionality of the product will not be impacted. For further information please see the white paper at the following link.

What is the percentage of trypsin within the Trypsin-EDTA (0.5%), no phenol red (Cat. No. 15400054)?

Trypsin-EDTA (0.5%), no phenol red (Cat. No. 15400054 contains 0.5 % trypsin and 0.2% EDTA.

How do you recommend aliquoting Trypsin-EDTA (0.5%), no phenol red (Cat. No. 15400054)?

We recommend aliquoting the undiluted trypsin into single-use portions and storing the aliquots at -20 degrees C, so that fresh dilutions can be made whenever needed.

How many freeze/thaw cycles do you recommend for Trypsin-EDTA (0.5%), no phenol red (Cat. No. 15400054)?

We recommend keeping the freeze thaw cycles of trypsin to a minimum to avoid loss of enzyme activity.

What method do you recommend for thawing Trypsin-EDTA (0.5%), no phenol red (Cat. No. 15400054)?

We recommend thawing Trypsin-EDTA (0.5%) at 4 degrees C overnight. Alternatively, you can thaw it in a 37 degrees C water bath, but you will need to keep a close eye on it because extended exposure at that temperature can cause a decrease in enzyme activity. If you use the 37 degrees C thawing method, we recommend swirling the bottle every 5 mins to allow the heat to distribute evenly. As soon as the trypsin is thawed, remove it from the water bath.
