Working with primary cells for regenerative medicine applications such as stem cells or organ transplantation?

Working with primary cells? The newly updated Worthington Tissue Dissociation Guide provides a general introduction to the theory and techniques involved in primary cell isolation as well as a set of annotated references organized by tissue type. Worthington also offers the following enzymes and use-tested kits:

Our years of experience in enzyme purification put us in a position to assist individual researchers with special needs. We frequently do customized preparations of entirely new products, and we can make modifications of a regular production procedure on a custom basis. Furthermore, our quality control department can do special testing if needed.

Worthington Biochemical has purposely limited our products for molecular biology to the major 'work-horse' enzymes and nucleic acids. There are several other companies that specialize in the many restriction enzymes, plasmids, vectors and various kits that are used in molecular biology applications.

Worthington is a primary producer of enzymes, biochemicals and kits for life science and neuroscience applications. The Worthington Tissue Dissociation Guide provides a general introduction to the theory and techniques involved in primary cell isolation as well as a set of annotated references specific to neural cell isolation:

Worthington is a primary producer of enzymes, biochemicals and kits. We offer products such as cellulase and pectinase that are useful for a variety of plant biology and plant pathology applications.

Trypsin was one of the first products commercially produced by Worthington in the late 1940's, based upon the early enzyme crystallization work of Northrop and Kunitz published in 1931.
