I would experiment with different EDTA (or citrate) concentrations in the
divalent-ion-free medium, 0.1 through 2.0 mM (I think [Ca2+] can't get
above 2mM, due to sulphate insolubility). [Mg2+] is much lower than [Ca2+]
as well.
Let me know, or get back to me for the exact details.
Cheers, Bob.

Subject: Lymph Nodes that Clump
Hi
Can anybody help me with a cell suspension solution that will inhibit
cell clumping. We disaggregate lymph node tissue for routine flow but
have heaps of trouble with cell clumping. We have tried Mg and Ca free
RPMI, also DPBS with DNAse to no avail. We keep blocking up the probe
of the XL which is a bit of a bother.
Willing to try anything!!!!!!!
