Product Overview
Overview
The FireGene Pancreas Dissociation Kit is designed for the efficient enzymatic dissociation of pancreatic tissue into viable single-cell suspensions. Ideal for single-cell sequencing and disease modeling, this kit supports investigations into diabetes, pancreatitis, and pancreatic cancer with high precision and reproducibility.
Background Information
-
Driven by Clinical and Scientific Research Needs:
- Understanding pancreatic disease mechanisms, such as diabetes, chronic inflammation, and pancreatic cancer, requires detailed single-cell analysis.
- Traditional methods do not fully preserve islet cells, acinar cells, and other fragile populations.
- This kit enables:
- Isolation and profiling of pancreatic cell types for biomarker discovery.
- Improved insight into immune response, fibrosis, and beta-cell function.
- Development of targeted therapies and regenerative strategies for pancreatic diseases.
-
Background of Technological Development:
- FireGene overcomes the limitations of low cell yield and viability by using:
- A proprietary enzymatic formulation designed specifically for pancreatic ECM.
- Optimized conditions for incubation time, temperature, and enzyme concentration.
- A workflow that preserves cell integrity, ensuring consistent and high-quality single-cell suspensions.
- FireGene overcomes the limitations of low cell yield and viability by using:
Detection Principle
- Based on a synergistic enzymatic digestion process:
- Pancreatic tissue is minced and treated sequentially with prepared reagents.
- The digestion proceeds under controlled conditions, breaking down ECM components and intercellular junctions.
- Final Result:
- A clean, high-viability single-cell suspension ideal for use in scRNA-seq, proteomics, and pancreatic disease research.
