Use our dedicated spacers to mount C. elegans temperature-sensitive embryos
This protocol shows how to mount C. elegans embryos on glass coverslips with the CherryTemp system. Spacers of different thicknesses create chambers where embryos are placed. Spacers can replace standard methods like hanging drop method on glass coverslip.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″ el_class=”catmethods”][vc_column_text el_class=”centered_button”]

Step 1 : Pick young adults into pre-cooled M9 medium (16°C).

Step 2: Dissect them by cutting at both end of the uterus using a scalpel and #15 blade to release the embryos.

Step 3: Choose the embryos of the desired stage and transfer them to a cover slip using a mouth pipette.

Important: medium must not touch the sides of the spacer.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]
