Our lab is interested in cancer metabolism therefore we often harvest tumors from mice and process them for flow or other types of assays. It is extremely important that we dissociate the tissues well enough to release to all the T cells of interest.

Summary

The Good

It is extremely effortless due to just cutting up the tissues into pieces initially and letting the dissociator do the job.

The Bad

The price is on the higher end and each machine can hold up to 8 tubes therefore it is a hassle if you have over 20 samples to process at once.

The Bottom Line

It works well and the yield is always high. The tubes work great for the job and they can be reusable.
