MACS® Technology: The gold standard in cell separation
MACS® Technology: The gold standard in cell separation
MACS® Technology is based on MACS MicroBeads, manual or automated MACS Separators, and MACS Columns. When MACS Columns are placed in a MACS Separator, the MACS Column matrix provides a magnetic field strong enough to retain cells labeled with minimal amounts of magnetic material. Therefore, MACS MicroBeads used for labeling the cells can be so small and only a few are needed to separate a cell.

The magnetically labeled cells are separated over a MACS Column placed in a MACS Separator. They are retained on the column, while unlabeled cells pass through. These cells can be collected as the unlabeled fraction. The retained cells are eluted from the MACS Column after removal from the magnet.

MACS® Technology:

Gentle to cells
  • Viable and functionally active cells can be separated in less than 30 minutes.

Excellent purity and recovery
  • of both labeled and unlabeled cells

Flexible separation strategy
  • Positive selection
  • Depletion
  • Sequential subset sorting (depletion followed by positive selection or MACS MultiSort applications)

Compatible with downstream applications

  • Flow cytometry
  • Microscopic analysis
  • Molecular biology experiments
  • Cell culture
  • In vivo experiments
