2 Do this before using a fluorescence-activated cell sorter | 1 The most straightforward way to get tissue cells from animals |
4 This type of culture suppresses growth of cells you don't want (and, if you're not careful, may also suppress growth of some cells you do want, skewing your sample!) | 3 Necessary at times because cells are attached to one another and/or coated with saccharides |
6 Use a certain machine to separate cells by size, mass and density | 5 Eliminating the extracellular matrix may destroy these surface cell components |
8 Strain cells out of solution with a membrane | 7 This sort of chromatography takes advantage of unique cell surface ligands for separation |
9 This machine ($100-200K) uses laser fluorescence to sort cells in an incoming water stream and then separate them into containers using electrostatic coils |
