Dear flowers,

I have a question regarding cell suspensions:is there anyone out there
who has experience in making cell suspensions of murine liver and lung?
I can get cells out of these organs without any problem using a tissue
grainer and delicate use of a scalpel, but now I would like to calculate
absolute numbers of cells present in these organs, so I have to get the
most cells possible out of them.
Do you know of a method that would give a high yield by destructing all
connecting tissue, without being toxic for lose cells?


Kind regards,

Tessa
