Description
The MultiMACS™ Cell24 Separator Plus is designed for the convenient execution of any positive or untouched isolation using MACS® Cell Separation Reagents, including StraightFrom™ MicroBeads.
Separations can be performed with the Multi-24 Column Block or with up to 12 LS, LD, or Whole Blood Columns in combination with the Single-Column Adapter.
The MultiMACS Cell24 Separator Plus contains a strong permanent 24-well magnet that induces a high-gradient magnetic field within columns. The field is strong enough to retain cells labeled with even small amounts of MACS MicroBeads in the columns. After transfer of the columns to the Elution Chamber of the MACS Elution Station magnetically labeled cells can be eluted from the columns via a small vacuum impulse.
The touchscreen guides the user through the complete separation process. During cell separation the instrument moves the separation column block into and out of the magnet, thus allowing convenient processing of up to 24 samples in parallel. For the elution of the positive fraction, the column block or the single columns in the Single-Column Adapter must be transferred to the Elution Chamber.
Pipetting steps during cell separation procedures are either performed manually with software guidance, or can be fully automated with the MultiMACS X.
Overview
The MultiMACS™ Cell24 Separator Plus allows for efficient cell isolations in combination with MACS Cell Separation Reagents from up to 24 samples simultaneously – with complete ease. It can be employed as an easy-to-operate, semi-automated benchtop instrument.
