Immune cell isolation directly from blood

StraightFrom® MicroBeads allow for the magnetic cell separation of various leukocyte subsets directly from whole blood, buffy coat, leukocyte reduction system chamber (LRSC), or Leukopak® (StemExpress, LCC). The innovative StraightFrom Technology omits the time-consuming step of density gradient centrifugation. The isolated target cells are immediately ready for any cellular and molecular analysis.

The basic principle

Cell isolation with StraightFrom MicroBeads

View details

Isolation of target cells with StraightFrom MicroBeads is based on positive selection. Get your target cells in three easy steps: add the MicroBeads of choice, incubate the sample for magnetic labeling, and separate cells over a column.

Leukocyte subsets can be purified either manually using a MACS® Separator or automated, using the MultiMACS™ Cell24 Separator Plus. Cells from whole blood can be isolated with the autoMACS® Pro Separator or the MultiMACS™ X.

The StraightFrom Protocol shortens the isolation of target cells to less than 30 minutes.

Conventional protocols require the isolation of PBMCs by density gradient centrifugation before target cell isolation. The innovative StraightFrom Technology omits this time-consuming step delivering target cells in under 30 minutes.
