Collagenase from Clostridium histolyticum has been used:
- in the preparation of collagenase solution for the digestion of tumor tissues
- as a supplement in phosphate-buffered saline for the digestion of extirpated mesenteric fat tissue
- as a supplement in Roswell Park Memorial Institute-1640 medium (RPMI-1640) for the digestion of colon segments
- for the digestion of endometrium tissues

Collagenase has been used in the preparation of arterial tissue for the study of Advanced Glycosylation End Products (AGE). The enzyme has also been used along with other proteases for the disaggregation of human tumor, mouse kidney, human brain, lung epithelium and many other tissues. It is also effective in liver and kidney perfusion studies, digestion of pancreas, and isolation of nonparenchymal hepatocytes. This enzyme is tested for suitability for the release of hepatocytes, at approx. 1 mg/mL conc., in a total volume of 100 mL for each rat liver.
