How to Isolate Cells in 3 Easy Steps using MACS MicroBeads

Add MACS MicroBeads to your cell suspension and incubate at 4°C for a few minutes. The nanoized beads are non-toxic and biocompatible, allowing cells to retain full functionality.

Place the MACS column in the magnetic field of a MACS separator and apply the labeled cell suspension. Unlabeled cells pass through while magnetically labeled cells are retained in the column.

The column matrix amplifies the magnetic field, allowing thorough washing of labeled cells without compromising yield. The column design maintains optimal spacing for cell movement.

Remove the column from the magnetic separator and gently elute the labeled cells. The cells are fully functional and immediately ready for downstream applications including flow cytometry.
