FireGene Human Brain Dissociation Kit for Neuroscience Research

Overview

The FireGene Human Brain Dissociation Kit is a high-efficiency enzymatic system designed to dissociate human brain tissue into high-viability single-cell suspensions. Ideal for neurological research and single-cell sequencing, this kit enables accurate profiling of brain cell populations involved in health and disease.

Background Information

• Driven by Clinical and Scientific Research Needs:

  • Single-cell sequencing of human brain tissue is essential for understanding complex neural circuits and brain disorders.
  • Traditional dissociation methods struggle with preserving diverse brain cell types such as neurons and glia.
  • This kit enables:
    • High-resolution analysis of cellular heterogeneity in both healthy and diseased brain tissues.
    • Identification of biomarkers and therapeutic targets for conditions like neurodegeneration, epilepsy, and mental health disorders.
    • Advancement of precision neurology through better cellular insight.

• Background of Technological Development:

  • Older dissociation methods often lead to low cell yields and viability.
  • FireGene’s solution:
    • Uses a synergistic enzymatic blend optimized for fragile neural tissue.
    • Features carefully calibrated enzyme types, concentrations, and temperature conditions.
    • Maximizes viable cell recovery for reliable, reproducible results in downstream assays.

Detection Principle

• Utilizes a stepwise enzymatic digestion method:
  • Brain samples are cut into small pieces to enhance enzyme penetration.
  • Enzymes are added sequentially under optimal incubation conditions.
  • Extracellular matrix and intercellular junctions are enzymatically broken down.
• Result:
  • A clean, viable single-cell suspension suitable for scRNA-seq, brain atlas mapping, flow cytometry, or culture.
