In this application protocol, we describe an easy and fast method for the dissociation of skeletal muscle tissue from mouse and a subsequent isolation method that generates a highly pure population of satellite cells and minimizes bias in downstream applications caused by contamination with non-target cells.
Use the Skeletal Muscle Dissociation Kit to generate a single-cell suspension by combining mechanical dissociation with the gentleMACS™ Dissociator and enzymatic degradation of the extracellular matrix that maintains the structural integrity of the tissue. Follow the protocol of the kit data sheet.

Isolate functional satellite cells by depleting non-target cells with the Satellite Cell Isolation Kit. The kit contains a cocktail of monoclonal antibodies conjugated with MACS® MicroBeads the magnetically label non-target cells. These are retained within the MACS Column, while the unlabeled satellite cells pass through during elution. Follow the protocol of the kit data sheet.
