The Adipose Tissue Dissociation Kit, mouse and rat, has been developed for the gentle and efficient generation of single-cell suspensions from mouse and rat adipose tissue. It has been optimized for a high yield of non-adipocyte lineages, including adipose tissue derived stem and progenitor cells, immune cells, endothelial cells and stromal cells while preserving cell surface epitopes. Single-cell suspensions can be used in downstream applications, including functional, genetic, and proteomic studies, and analyzed
in vitro for phenotype distributions.
