Generation of single-cell suspensions and homogenates from virus-containing samples 

Generation of single-cell suspensions and homogenates from virus-containing samples 

Working with infectious agents, especially viruses, can be challenging due to the hazardous nature of the sample material and the risk of cross-contamination. Our gentleMACS™ Portfolio can support your virus research by providing a closed and sterile system to reduce handling hazards.

How the gentleMACS Portfolio can help virus research

The gentleMACS Dissociators are a family of benchtop instruments for the automated and standardized dissociation or homogenization of virtually any tissue.

 Viable single-cell suspensions are efficiently obtained by using our unique C Tubes in combination with our tissue-specific enzyme kits, whereas thorough homogenates are easily obtained by using the unique M Tubes. After processing, samples can be used for any cellular and molecular downstream analyses. 
 

Virus research with the gentleMACS Portfolio can benefit from:

  • A closed and sterile system that reduces handling hazards
  • Single-use consumables to minimize cross-contamination potential and allow for easy disposal
  • Small instrument footprints, which allow for installation under a sterile working bench
  • Over 40 optimized and ready-to-use gentleMACS Programs to simplify and standardize sample handling
