Cellulose Enzyme (DNA Separation) (Product Code: SCL373/091) is an enzyme preparation in a 100 ml pack used to digest the cellulose of plant cell walls during DNA isolation practicals. Listed as an analytical reagent and supplied with an MSDS, it lets students release DNA from onion, spinach or fruit tissue, which makes it a key item in a DNA extraction kit for schools in India. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

The textbook route to isolating DNA from plant material runs in stages: the tissue is ground, the cell walls are digested with a cellulose-degrading enzyme, proteins and RNA are removed with protease and ribonuclease, and the DNA is finally precipitated with chilled ethanol, where it appears as fine white threads that can be spooled onto a glass rod. This enzyme covers the cell-wall step, which is what makes onion, spinach or fruit usable in a classroom extraction for senior secondary and undergraduate biotechnology courses.
Enzymes are sensitive to heat and pH, so follow the incubation conditions in your practical manual and never add the enzyme to a hot mixture. Check the label and supplied MSDS for the recommended storage conditions, keep the bottle closed between uses, and draw from it with a clean pipette each time so the stock is not contaminated.
The enzyme is offered by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab and is based in Ambala, Haryana, India. Besides reagents for biotechnology practicals, the company supplies the grinding, centrifuging and glassware items those practicals need to schools, colleges and distributors in India and international markets.

What role does Cellulose Enzyme (DNA Separation) play in DNA isolation?
Cellulose Enzyme (DNA Separation) digests the cellulose in plant cell walls, so the cell contents, including DNA, are released for the later protein-removal and ethanol-precipitation steps of a classroom DNA isolation practical.
Is Cellulose Enzyme (DNA Separation) the same as cellulase?
The catalogue name of Cellulose Enzyme (DNA Separation) describes an enzyme acting on cellulose, the type textbooks call cellulase. If your syllabus or tender needs its activity or source stated, contact us before ordering so we can confirm the details.
Is Cellulose Enzyme (DNA Separation) needed for animal tissue?
Generally not. Animal cells have no cellulose wall, so Cellulose Enzyme (DNA Separation) is only needed when DNA is being extracted from plant material such as onion, spinach or fruit tissue.
What volume of Cellulose Enzyme (DNA Separation) is supplied?
Each pack of Cellulose Enzyme (DNA Separation) contains 100 ml, listed as an analytical reagent and supplied with an MSDS. Use a clean pipette every time you draw from the bottle to avoid contaminating the stock.
How should Cellulose Enzyme (DNA Separation) be stored, and what is its shelf life?
Follow the storage directions on the label and MSDS of Cellulose Enzyme (DNA Separation). Its shelf life depends on the product, its grade and storage conditions, so ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted.
Who supplies Cellulose Enzyme (DNA Separation) for several schools?
Cellulose Enzyme (DNA Separation) is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India. Send code SCL373/091 with the list of enzymes and quantities for a combined quotation covering schools, colleges or distributors in India and international markets.
