Steps
Single cell dissociation of brain organoids
Mix 500µL DNAse with 5mL Papain.
Transfer single or pooled organoid to 60 mm dish.
Aspirate excess media, add 2.5mL Papain + DNAse solution.
With a razor blade mince organoid (<1 mm).
Transfer plate to an orbital shaker 70rpm (inside incubator).
With 1-mL pipette dissociate pieces (Mix up-down 30 times).
Put in orbital shaker 0h 20m 0s.
In the meantime, add 5mL Earle´s medium + 3mL Inhibitor to a 15-mL conical tube.
Remove samples from the orbital shaker. With a 1-mL tip, mix up-down 30 times.
Take 2mL (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 300rpm.
Aspirate supernatant, resuspend in 500µL to 1mL 0.5% BSA-PBS (Up-down 30 times).
Filter the resuspended cells (900µL) 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.
