Miltenyi, 130-098-240, Whole Blood MidiMACS™ Starting Kit

Background information
Whole Blood Columns in combination with Whole Blood MicroBeads allow cell separation directly from whole blood, without density-gradient centrifugation and erythrocyte lysis. Optimal flow rates of whole blood samples during cell separation are achieved by a specially developed two-layer column matrix. The matrix is covered with a cell-friendly coating.
A MACS® Separator contains a powerful permanent magnet that induce a high-gradient magnetic field within MACS Columns – a field strong enough to retain cells labeled with even small amounts of MACS MicroBeads, leaving enough epitopes free for concurrent antibody staining.
With the MidiMACS Separator you can perform one separation, with the QuadroMACS Separator you can perform up to four separations in parallel.
