Whole Mouse Brain Delipidation - LifeCanvas Active

Description

This LifeCanvas SmartBatch+ protocol is intended for whole mouse brain tissue clearing and incorporates electrophoretic delipidation. While this delipidation protocol is longer than other delipidation protocols we tested, it preserves the endogenous fluorescence of the tissue and clears the whole brain most effectively, demonstrating the morphology of fine cell structures deep in the brain.
