If you are using straight forward cultures then T-cells should not attach to
the plate or flask, simply pipetting the supernatant up and down should
resuspend them in culture. I am aware that people in our lab use cell
scrapers to dislodge adherent cells such as macrophages without to much
trouble. I have no experience of using EDTA or Trypsin to remove adherent
cells though. Hope this helps.
