We represent a small number of manufacturers whose products we know in depth. Each is a primary producer with its own plant and quality system — we handle import, documentation and delivery in Taiwan.
Worthington Biochemical Corporation
Founded in 1947 by Charles C. Worthington, a former Rockefeller Institute researcher who saw that laboratories needed a reliable commercial source of pure enzymes. Family-owned again since 1987 and now run by the third generation, Worthington is an ISO 9001 primary manufacturer: every enzyme is purified in its own Lakewood facility, not re-labelled.
What we carry from them
- Collagenase (types 1–4, purified CLSPA, animal-free formulations) for tissue dissociation and primary cell isolation
- Trypsin, DNase, elastase, hyaluronidase, papain, neutral protease and other purified enzymes
- Cell isolation systems and kits, nucleic acids and biochemicals for research, diagnostics and bioprocessing
- The Worthington Enzyme Manual — the reference most labs still cite
