CellTrypase
Animal-origin-free recombinant trypsin alternative for cell dissociation in cell therapy, stem cell and biomanufacturing workflows
CellTrypase is a high-purity, animal-origin-free recombinant trypsin-like enzyme for reliable cell dissociation in research and biomanufacturing workflows. Available in R&D and GMP grade, CellTrypase supports cell culture, stem cell, cell therapy, viral vector and bioprocessing applications where consistent performance, supply reliability and regulatory readiness are important. CellTrypase can be evaluated as a high-quality alternative or second source to established trypsin-based cell dissociation solutions such as TrypLE™ (Trademark of Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.).
Benefits of CellTrypase:
- Gentle & reliable: Consistent, efficient cell dissociation while preserving cell viability and function
- Highest purity for consistent cell culture results
- Full, in-house manufacturing under certified GMP/GDP quality standard
- Better value: Equivalent performance at optimized quality and lower cost.
- Demonstrated performance across key biopharma production cell lines, including CHO-K1, HEK293, MDCK, Vero and iPSC-based workflows.
- Available in R&D + GMP grade with identical specifications
For customers considering the replacement of a trypsin-like enzyme in your approved manufacturing process - Kerry's Change Guidance Documents help you navigate raw and ancillary material changes with confidence, using a regulatory-aligned framework.
