[Histonet] detach cells from a slide

[Connie McManus]

In cell culture, when cells need to be transferred to a new flask, a
0.25% trypsin for 15 minutes is used to detatch the cells from the flask
surface.  I don't know if that would work with blood cells, but you
could experiment to see. If you try it, I wouldn't let the cells soak as
long as 15 minutes.  I'd watch the solution for cell lift off and call
it good when I got most of them. 

just another wild and crazy notion...

Subject: [Histonet] detach cells from a slide

Any idea to detach cells from an hematologic slide?

They are dryed...stained with May Grünwald Giemsa...dehidrated, cleared
and 
mounted with DPX.

The idea is to use them for a DNA extraction.

Thanks in advance
