Trypsin 0.05 % / EDTA 4 Na 0.02 % in HBSS, with Phenol red – Trypsin Cell Detachment Solution
Trypsin 0.05 % / EDTA 4 Na 0.02 % in HBSS, with Phenol red, ready-to-use trypsin cell detachment solution
RUO (P10-040100)
Trypsin 0.05 % / EDTA 4 Na 0.02 % in HBSS, with Phenol red is a ready-to-use cell detachment solution containing 0.05 % trypsin and 0.02 % EDTA (4 Na), formulated in HBSS without calcium and magnesium, with phenol red. Trypsin is a porcine pancreas-derived enzyme (1:250) that dissociates anchorage-dependent cells; EDTA is added to chelate calcium and magnesium and enhance trypsin activity. A low-concentration trypsin-EDTA on an HBSS base with the tetrasodium EDTA salt and phenol red indicator. After detachment, trypsin should be neutralised with serum-containing medium or a trypsin inhibitor.
Reliable trypsin detachment for routine passaging. 0.05 % trypsin with 0.02 % EDTA (4 Na) in HBSS, Ca/Mg-free for effective dissociation.
Why Trypsin 0.05 % / EDTA 4 Na 0.02 % in HBSS, with Phenol red
- Effective dissociation – porcine trypsin (1:250) for anchorage-dependent cells.
- EDTA-enhanced – EDTA chelates Ca/Mg to boost trypsin activity.
- HBSS base, Ca/Mg-free – formulated to support efficient trypsinisation.
- Neutralise after use – stop with serum-containing medium or trypsin inhibitor.

How is Trypsin 0.05 % / EDTA 4 Na 0.02 % in HBSS, with Phenol red used?
Aspirate medium, rinse the monolayer with Ca/Mg-free salt solution, add enough pre-warmed trypsin to cover the cells and incubate until they round up and detach; then neutralise, centrifuge and resuspend in fresh medium.
How is Trypsin 0.05 % / EDTA 4 Na 0.02 % in HBSS, with Phenol red stored?
Store the solution at -20 °C. Stable 2 years from production.
