For ongoing flow cytometry-based studies we need to prepare single cell suspensions from large numbers of mouse spleens, typically 100-150 or more spleens, pooled in groups of 5. We do this now by mechanical disruption (frosted microscope slides or stainless steel mesh screens and the like). The procedure is, needless to say, tedious and time consuming. Can anyone suggest better methods or does anyone know of devices that would do the mechanical disruptions on multiple samples (20 - 30) at once?
