Brain tissue dissociation
Tissue dissociation into single-cell suspensions with high cell viability and a minimum of cell debris is a prerequisite for reliable cell separation, cell culture, and flow cytometry analysis. A dissociation procedure that combines optimized enzymatic treatment using our Tissue Dissociation Kits with gentle mechanical dissociation provided by our gentleMACS™ Dissociators is crucial for the preparation of viable single-cell suspensions.
