Hi Everyone,

I have recently tried to sort GFP-identified cells from the mouse
suprachiasmatic nucleus.  Unfortunately,  the cells appear to be dead
after the FACS sort is completed.  I've been using a trypsin dispersion
is HBSS (supplemented with Hepes and pen/strep).  Does anyone have any
ideas of how I can increase cell viability?  Thanks in advance!

Gilbert
