MACSmixâ„¢ Tube Rotator
Description The MACSmix™ Tube Rotator is a versatile instrument running on rechargeable batteries and operating independently of a permanent power supply. Alternatively, mains operation is possible. It is suitable for a temperature range of 2 °C to 42 °C and can, therefore, be placed in a refrigerator or incubator. The MACSmix Tube Rotator is provided with two different racks which can be equipped with tubes from 0.5 mL to 50 mL in size. The device operates at three different speeds or at set intervals. Applications The MACSmix™ Tube Rotator is a helpful tool for a variety of applications: Secretion period during MACS® Cytokine Secretion Assays Enzymatic steps during tissue dissociation Short-time culturing of cells in tubes in an incubator Loading of MACSiBead™ Particles with biotinylated antibodies for cell activation Magnetic labeling of cells for depletion using MACSiBead™ Particles Resuspending blood or other cell suspensions Immunoprecipitations Binding of molecules, e.g., recombinant proteins to an affinity matrix Extractions and phase separations Dissolving substances		Figure 1 The MACSmix™ Tube Rotator.
