Reconstitute powders.
  • Add 5 mL Earle´s medium into Papain Vial (1 Vial/2 organoids).
  • Add 500 µL Earles´s medium into DNAse vial.
  • Add 35 mL Earle´s medium into Inhibitor vial (1 vial/10 organoids).



Single cell dissociation of brain organoids
27m
Mix 500 µL DNAse with 5 mL Papain.
Note
Note: MIX GENTLY.



Transfer single or pooled organoid to 60 mm dish.
Aspirate excess media, add 2.5 mL Papain + DNAse solution.

With a razor blade mince organoid (<1 mm).
Transfer plate to an orbital shaker 70 rpm, 00:30:00 (inside incubator).

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

20m
In the meantime, add 5 mL Earle´s medium + 3 mL Inhibitor to a 15-mL conical tube.

Remove samples from the orbital shaker. With a 1-mL tip, mix up-down 30 times.
Take 2 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.
Centrifuge 300 rpm, Room temperature, 00:07:00 .

7m
Aspirate supernatant, resuspend in 500 µL to 1 mL 0.5% BSA-PBS (Up-down 30 times).

Filter the resuspended cells (900 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.
