Abstract

B16F10 (B16) murine melanoma cells have the characteristic of strong adhesion to culture surfaces. The use of trypsin solutions in high doses to release this type of cell is not suitable. When B16F10 cells are released with high concentrations of trypsin they do not form a precipitate after centrifugation and consequently the cells will be lost when discarding the supernatant. To solve this problem, we established a solution with phosphate buffered saline (PBS) and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) at low trypsin concentrations. Finally, we verified the efficiency of this solution on the quantity of cells recovered after centrifugation.
