Buy Trypsin
Novo Nordisk Pharmatech offers high-purity, animal-free recombinant porcine trypsin (TrypsiNNex®) for biopharmaceutical manufacturing, cell culture, and protein processing applications.
Key benefits of using TrypsiNNex®
Animal-free
Eliminate the risk of viral contamination from raw material
High purity
Achieve high process consistency owing to consistently high β-trypsin content
High quality
Easy qualification or transition from your existing trypsin product, supported by extensive documentation and support
By nature, trypsin undergoes autolysis in a series of steps: β-trypsin is gradually converted into α-trypsin via proteolytic cleavage, and intermediate forms such as Ψ-trypsin may appear. These intermediates have less specific activity, which is undesirable in controlled bioprocesses.
A high β-trypsin level is therefore a key quality marker, ensuring reproducible activity and high specificity.
TrypsiNNex® typically exceeds the minimum β-trypsin specification of 70%, delivering reliable activity and a consistent proteolytic profile — an essential factor when processing precursor proteins like pro-insulin.

Practical information
TrypsiNNex® is shipped on dry ice.
TrypsiNNex® should be stored at ‑20°C ±5ºC immediately upon arrival.
Please contact us for information on storage and handling after dilution.
If trypsin inhibitors are needed, we can recommend using:
- Serum (beta 2 macroglobulin)
- Soybean Trypsin Inhibitor
In Biopharmaceutical production, detection of raw material is necessary:
- Incoming testing of TrypsiNNex® (e.g. identity, activity)
- Detection of residual raw material in the finished product (LOQ for HPLC-based purity measurement)
For support on incoming quality testing, please contact us.
Although there are no specific regulatory guidelines at this time to specify allowable amounts of residual Trypsin or Collagenase, these are still considered process residuals and potential product contaminants, and thus should be assessed as part of an overall risk mitigation strategy.
