Dissociation Reagents

MCE 0.25% Trypsin-EDTA (1x), phenol red consists of dried trypsin powder dissolved in EDTA. MCE Trypsin hydrolyzes intercellular proteins and disperses primary tissues or adherent cells into individual cells, and can be widely used for cell dissociation, cell culture passaging and primary tissue dissociation. The 100 mL is defined as the base specification. All larger sizes correspond to incremental volumes of this base.

MCE 0.25% Trypsin-EDTA (1×), Phenol Red-Free, is prepared by dissolving trypsin powder (a mixture of proteases from porcine pancreas, irradiated and sterilized) and EDTA in a calcium- and magnesium-free balanced salt solution. It is filter-sterilized and can be directly used for the dissociation of cultured cells and tissues. The 100 mL is defined as the base specification. All larger sizes correspond to incremental volumes of this base.

MCE Red Blood Cell Lysis Buffer (10×) primarily contains ammonium chloride and is a ready-to-use solution designed for rapid and effective lysis and removal of anucleated red blood cells from human or mouse blood and tissue samples without affecting white blood cells, normal tissues, or tumor cells.

MCE iPSC/ESC Dissociation Solution (Enzyme-Free) is a chelation-based, enzyme-free cell dissociation reagent specifically designed for the culture and manipulation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and embryonic stem cells (ESCs). This optimized solution enables gentle and efficient dissociation of iPSCs/ESCs within 5-8 min, making it suitable for routine passaging, dissociation, and cell-cluster handling. It provides superior stability and better preservation of cell state compared with traditional methods.

MCE ECM Gentle Dissociation Solution is a gentle ECM-degrading enzyme mixture derived from marine bacteria and Bacillus species, specifically formulated for efficient and low-damage digestion of in-vitro cell systems. It selectively degrades extracellular matrix components while minimizing disruption to the cell membrane and intercellular junctions, thereby significantly reducing mechanical stress during dissociation. This product is compatible with a wide range of cell types, including stem cell colonies, primary cells, neural cells, and organoids, and is particularly well suited for gentle yet effective dissociation of brain organoids and other complex 3D structures.
