Papain by Worthington Biochemical Corp.
Manufacturer Worthington Biochemical Corp.
Worthington Papain is purified from Carica papaya latex. This enzyme has wide specificity, and it will degrade most protein substrates more extensively than the pancreatic proteases.
For tissue dissociation applications papain has proved less damaging and more effective than other proteases. Methods have been described using papain to obtain high yields of viable, morphologically intact cortical neurons from postnatal rats which is the basis of our Papain Dissociation System, Code: PDS.

Worthington also produces a lyophilized form of our widely used crystalline papain preparation. This
product (Code: PAPL) can be used in place of the aqueous suspension preparation for immunochemical and cell isolation applications. It offers the convenience, stability and versatility of a lyophilized powder along with the enzymatic activity of the liquid preparation.
