MACS SmartStrainers vs. Pre-Separation Filters | Filters and strainers | MACS Sample Preparation | Products | Miltenyi Biotec

Cell preparation is one of the most important tasks when doing an experiment. Use MACS SmartStrainers and Pre-Separation Filters to remove unwanted material, such as cell aggregates, to avoid interfering effects on downstream applications.

MACS® SmartStrainers

MACS SmartStrainers

View details

These cell strainers are designed for the easy removal of cell aggregates or large particles after tissue dissociation or from blood samples to obtain uniform single-cell suspensions.

• Improved ventilation during filtration, avoids clogging of the strainers

• Fit into standard 15 mL and 50 mL conical tubes

• Stackable to allow filtration with decreasing mesh sizes in one go

Pre-Separation Filters

View details

These filters are designed for the easy removal of cell aggregates or large particles from single-cell suspensions. These filters ensure effective magnetic or fluorescent cell labeling, and thus optimal flow within cell separation columns and flow cytometer.

• Ensure effective magnetic or fluorescent labeling by removing unwanted particles

• Pre-Separation Filters fit onto MACS MS, LS, LD, CS, Large Cell, and Whole Blood Columns

• Fit into tubes with a capacity of 5 mL and 13–15 mL
