From: A Practical Guide to Rodent Islet Isolation and Assessment Revisited
A graphical representation of the three key elements for a successful islet isolation. (1) The successful dissection of the pancreas followed by digestion. (2) Separation of the islets from acinar tissue using a separation gradient. It should be noted that islets are not visible to the naked eye and are thus not to scale in the illustration. (3) Culturing islets to ensure viability and functionality
