Elastase is used for tissue dissociation and cell isolation applications. Elastase has an activity of >30 units/mg and is unstable at < pH 3.5. Elastase was purified from a porcine pancreas and then purified by affinity chromatography to remove trace amounts of contaminating proteases. One unit corresponds to the amount of enzyme which liberates 1 µmol 4-nitroaniline per minute at 25°C and pH 7.8.
