Reconstitute powders.
  • Add Amount5 mL Earle´s medium into Papain Vial (1 Vial/2 organoids).
  • Add Amount500 µL Earles´s medium into DNAse vial.
  • Add Amount35 mL Earle´s medium into Inhibitor vial (1 vial/10 organoids).



Troubleshooting
Single cell dissociation of brain organoids
27m
Mix Amount500 µL DNAse with Amount5 mL Papain.
Note
Note: MIX GENTLY.



Mix
Transfer single or pooled organoid to 60 mm dish.
Aspirate excess media, add Amount2.5 mL Papain + DNAse solution.

Pipetting
With a razor blade mince organoid (<1 mm).
Transfer plate to an orbital shaker Shaker70 rpm, 00:30:00 (inside incubator).

With 1-mL pipette dissociate pieces (Mix up-down 30 times).
Put in orbital shaker Duration00:20:00 .

20m
In the meantime, add Amount5 mL Earle´s medium + Amount3 mL Inhibitor to a 15-mL conical tube.

Pipetting
Remove samples from the orbital shaker. With a 1-mL tip, mix up-down 30 times.
Mix
Take Amount2 mL (upper part) into new tube using a 40 µm cell strainer. Wait 1-3 min to debris to settle.

Transfer cell suspension to the inhibitor tube. Invert to mix 5 times.
Mix
Centrifuge Centrifigation300 rpm, Room temperature, 00:07:00 .

7m
Centrifigation
Aspirate supernatant, resuspend in Amount500 µL to Amount1 mL 0.5% BSA-PBS (Up-down 30 times).

Filter the resuspended cells (Amount900 µL ) with a 30 µm cell strainer.

Count the cells for the final suspension and dilute. Resuspend at 1000 cells/μl in 0.04% BSA-PBS.
