Gibco™ Cell Dissociation Buffer is a membrane-filtered, isotonic, and enzyme-free solution of salts, chelating agents, and cell-conditioning agents in calcium-free and magnesium-free phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). Gibco™ Cell Dissociation Buffer is suitable for the gentle dissociation of mammalian cells for studies such as ligand binding, flow cytometry, and immunohistochemistry, that require intact cell surface proteins. Gibco™ Cell Dissociation Buffer works well with lightly adherent cell lines, such as HeLa and NIH 3T3, but is not recommended for the routine passaging of strongly adherent cells. The dissociation protocol is available in our Technical Reference Library.
For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.

At what confluency should cells be at prior to their dissociation using the Cell Association Buffer, enzyme-free, PBS?

The buffer should be used with cells that are sub-confluent (60-80%). If cells are more than 80% confluent, it will be hard to detach them.

Will the Cell Dissociation Buffer, enzyme-free, PBS damage cell surface markers/receptors?

This buffer is very gentle. It should preserve the structural and functional integrity of cell surface proteins. However, we recommend that the customer test their cells and proteins.

Can I use the Cell Dissociation Buffer, enzyme-free, PBS to dissociate cells?

This Enzyme-Free Cell Dissociation Buffer does not rely on proteolysis for its action. Therefore, it is not suitable for strongly adherent cells, or for routine passage of some cell types (e.g., A431, Hep2, A549, MDCK, WI-38). This product is intended to gently dissociate cells from attachment substrates and each other while maintaining surface protein integrity.
