gentleMACSâ„¢ C Tubes
Description gentleMACSâ„¢ C Tubes are used in combination with the gentleMACS Dissociator for the preparation of single-cell suspensions from tissues. The cap of the C Tube bears a specially designed stator and a rotor that provide for highly efficient tissue dissociation. A septum-sealed opening in the center of the cap allows the user to pipette samples without opening the tube. Sample volumes up to 10 mL can be processed in a single tube. The C Tubes are designed for safe and sterile sample handling and enable a dissociation procedure that is gentle to cells. Thus, the single-cell suspensions can be used for a wide variety of applications including cell separation, cell analysis, and cell culture. Applications In combination with the gentleMACS Dissociator, C Tubes are used for the automated dissociation of tissues to obtain single-cell suspensions with a high viablity rate.
