Gibco™ Trypsin-EDTA (0.05%) with Phenol Red is a sterile-filtered, ready-to-use cell dissociation reagent formulated for routine subculturing of adherent mammalian cells. This solution contains trypsin, a pancreatic protease derived from porcine source, combined with EDTA, a chelating agent that enhances cell detachment by disrupting calcium-dependent cell adhesion. Phenol red is included as a pH indicator for added visualization during cell processing.
This formulation provides gentle enzymatic dissociation, suitable for a wide range of adherent cell lines and primary cultures. It is manufactured under cGMP conditions at ISO 13485–certified facilities, ensuring traceability, batch-to-batch consistency, and regulatory compliance.
Key Features and Benefits
-
0.05% Trypsin with EDTA
Provides efficient cell detachment while preserving viability and function for sensitive or strongly adherent cell types. -
Phenol Red pH Indicator
Allows visual monitoring of buffer conditions during cell dissociation procedures. -
Sterile and Animal-Origin
Filtered for sterility and produced from animal-derived materials (porcine pancreas) under stringent quality controls. -
Validated for Performance
Each lot tested for sterility, pH, osmolality, mycoplasma, endotoxins, viral agents, and bioactivity. -
Global cGMP Production
Dual-site manufacturing in USA and UK for supply continuity and full regulatory documentation.
Applications
- Routine passaging of adherent mammalian cell lines
- Enzymatic dissociation of primary cells or tissue explants
- Detachment of cells from culture vessels for reseeding
- Pre-treatment of cells for transfection or cryopreservation workflows
- Cell harvesting for assays or flow cytometry
