Hi everybody,
I was trying to do FACS analysis on stem cells transplanted SC into mice.
after few days the cells form cartilagenous/bone tissue. I tried to recover
the cells by treatment with 0.2% collagenase in PBSx1 for 1 hr. most of the
recovered cells were dead cells.

Does anybody have recommendations how to do this with keeping the maximal
cell viabilty??
any comments will be appreciated,
regards,
Hadi
