AutoMACS Separator

The AutoMACS Separator (Miltenyi) is a benchtop instrument for automated magnetic cell sorting. The sample is purified over a column matrix that brings the magnetic field in proximity to the cells. The magnetically labeled cells are retained on the column, while unlabeled cells pass through and can be collected as the unlabeled fraction. The retained cells are eluted from the MACS Column after removal from the magnet.

A commercial library of cell separation reagents is available for isolation of virtually any cell type from any species. The separated cells are then ready for experiments, cell analysis, or further subset sorting.

• Fast – up to 109 magnetically labeled cells are sorted automatically within a few minutes.
• Efficient – rare cells can be enriched up to 10,000-fold or unwanted cells may be depleted up to 99 %.
• Simple – intuitive touchscreen interface and preset programs for optimal results, ready-to-use MACS Buffers for easy operation.
• Flexible – high-speed sorting of more than 10 million cells per second, from 105 to 4×109 cells and volumes from 0.2 mL to 50 mL.
• Compatible – companion for flow cytometry, no bead removal required for further experiments.
