I'm trying to start Organotypic slice culture of brain but there are many references using different components for the medium during dissection and afterward when culturing the slices.

HBSS in some references is used with MgSo4 and CaCl2 but not MgCl2 and in other references they used Ca and Mg free HBSS with glucose and gentamicine.

What I really would like to know is if there is a big difference between HBSS with and without those molecules and does it have any affect on tissue slice viability.

Thank you
