Solutions
Trypsin supplier
Novo Nordisk Pharmatech is a trusted worldwide supplier of high-purity, animal-free recombinant trypsin, essential for cell dissociation and biomanufacturing of vaccines.
Global supplier of trypsin for bioprocessing
Novo Nordisk Pharmatech brings over 75 years of expertise across the pharmaceutical value chain, offering high-quality solutions for regulated manufacturing. Our animal-free recombinant trypsin, TrypsiNNex®, provides a safer alternative for bioprocessing by minimizing the risk of contamination and ensuring consistent performance.
As an experienced GMP enzyme manufacturer, we produce our recombinant trypsin under strict excipient GMP conditions to ensure high potency, purity, and reliability. Through rigorous quality control, we help customers enhance product safety and process consistency — ultimately contributing to better outcomes for patients worldwide.
Benefits of choosing TrypsiNNex®
Our animal-free recombinant trypsin, TrypsiNNex® , features a sequence identical to porcine trypsin, offering manufacturers a seamless transition to animal-free production processes. Expressed in E. coli as an inactive form, the trypsin remains deactivated throughout both upstream and downstream manufacturing steps. This precise control minimizes auto-degradation before final stabilization and packaging, enabling manufacturers to consistently achieve a high β-trypsin content essential for reliable performance and product quality.
TrypsiNNex® offers the following benefits:
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 from a preferred pharma grade supplier

More 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.
