Isolation Procedure for Rat Pancreatic Ductal Cells.

Isolating pancreatic ductal cells from rats is a critical procedure in pancreatic research, offering valuable insights into pancreatic function, pathology, and potential treatments. The process involves several key steps, beginning with the proper removal of the rat's pancreas, followed by the initiation of the ductal cell isolation procedure. This aims to obtain pure and viable ductal cell populations for further experimentation and analysis.
