  • Publication number: 20240110171
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the fields of collagenase production and collagenase products, and particularly to improving the reproducibility, purity, and stability of collagenase I and collagenase II compositions, where the compositions are pure to at least 95% by area as measured by reverse phase high pressure liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) and essentially free of neutral protease.
    Type: Application

  • Patent number: 7002007
    Abstract: Methods of making high molecular weight hyaluronates are disclosed. The methods include contacting a hyaluronate-containing source with an acid to make an acidic hyaluronate suspension, contacting that suspension with an anionic ion exchange medium in the presence of an acidic buffer, and thereafter contacting the medium with an acidic buffer having a higher salt content to desorb the hyaluronate from the medium. The methods are amenable for isolating hyaluronate from such sources as avian (e.g., chicken, duck, turkey, or goose) eggshells and connective tissues of animals.
