  • Application Supplier Note
    Used for the assay of mammalian collagenase activity. To heat denature collagen for preparing a substrate for gelatinase, transfer collagen solution to a brown glass bottle and heat to 80C. Collagen-fluorescein may be used as a substrate for the determination of collagenase activity by quantitative fluorescent assay of lysed collagen. Excitation is 490 nm, emission is 520 nm. 1) Dialyze at 5°C vs. 0.1 M Tris pH 7.5 containing 0.2 M NaCl. 2.) Follow procedure of Baiciet. al. Anal. Biochem., vol 108, pg. 230 (1980). The collagen-FITC is solubilized with collagenase at pH 8.0 at 37°C and absorbance at 494 nm determined in a 10 mm cell. Using = 7200 at pH 8 at 494 nm; umoles FITC per mg = 0.24.
