We do this all the time. If you can, try using a CaMg-free incubation;
we use Tyrode's. 10-15 min incubation in incubator, change it twice, then
rinse the cells off. If they don't come off, try a very short (10-20
sec) exposure to
trypsin or trypsin/EDTA, then rinse off with culture medium. Get back to
me if this doesn't work.
