Lineage-specific chimerism analysis | MACS Cell Separation

MACSprep™ Chimerism MicroBeads allow the fast and easy isolation of target cells for
chimerism analysis. Get B cells, T cells, NK cells, myeloid cells, monocytes, granulocytes, and stem cells directly from whole blood without density gradient centrifugation or erythrocytes lysis.

The enriched cells are well-suited for lineage-specific chimerism analysis, PCR, STR analysis, flow cytometric analysis, and functional studies. In combination with the autoMACS® Pro Separator, cell isolations can be automated allowing standardized procedures with minimal hands-on time for developing routine analyses.

View details

MACSprep™ Chimerism MicroBeads have been developed for the positive selection of cells directly from anticoagulated whole blood.

Isolate target cells directly from blood samples in three easy steps:

1. Magnetic labeling: Cells are magnetically labeled directly in the sample with MACSprep Chimerism MicroBeads.

2. Magnetic separation: Labeled cells are retained within the column. The flow-through fraction, containing erythrocytes and non-target cells, can be collected as the negative fraction.

3. Elution of labeled cells: The column is removed from the separator. The retained cells are eluted as the enriched, positively selected target cells.
