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.

When working with neural tissue derived from > P7 animals, large amounts of cell debris and erythrocytes often hurdle downstream applications. The Adult Brain Dissociation Kit, mouse and rat comes with debris and red blood cell (RBC) removal solutions that overcome this problem.
