Miltenyi Biotec

Product Name:

Adult brain dissociation Kit, Mouse, Rat

Catalog Number:

130-107-677

In our lab we use this kit combined with MACS gentle dissociator to dissociate the adult brain from the mouse. The protocol is highly optimized by Miltenyi Biotec for mouse brain that yields high amount single cells from the mouse brain. We use routinely in our lab that yield consistent reproducible result across different hands.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Application

To obtain single cells from adult mouse brain

Starting Material

Brain tissue

Protocol Overview

The MACS gentle dissociator is loaded with pre-programmed that optimized for Brain dissociation. We used 400mg of mouse brain tissue per protocol. The brain was dissociated by both mechanical (MACS dissociator) and enzymatic methods (supplied with kit).

Tips

Don't exceed the amount of tissue per experiment

Results Summary

We consistently obtained individual single cells from brain tissue and yield was close million cells.
