I also think this video is very helpful. I just joined as a research assistant at an islet transplant lab in Canada. I just wish I could download the movie to view it more often.

Hello Brooke L, thank you so much for sending this massage and being interested in our human islet isolation protocol. I can certainly provide more information and discuss the perfusion unit set up. Please send us an email about what exactly you want to know. We are happy to give more explanations. Thanks
Tatsuya from Edmonton
