MiniMACS Separator 2022 (130-042-102)

The MiniMACS™ Separator contains a powerful permanent magnet that induces a high-gradient magnetic field within MACS® Columns – a field strong enough to retain cells labeled with even small amounts of MACS MicroBeads.

The MiniMACS Separator allows the performance of separations
in combination with MS Columns (# 130-042-201), Large Cell
Columns (# 130-042-202), and M Columns (# 130-042-801):
● MS Columns for positive selection and depletion of cells
● Large Cell Columns for positive selection of large cell, e.g.,
megakaryocytes
● M Columns for isolation of molecules, e.g., RNA

The MACS Separation system is developed to separate human and
animal cells. Moreover it can be used for the separation of plant
protoplasts, bacteria, cell organelles, and other bioparticles. The
material to be separated, for example, cells, is first magnetically
labeled with superparamagnetic MACS MicroBeads. After
magnetic labeling, cells are passed through a MACS Column which
is placed in the strong permanent magnet of the MACS Separator.
The ferromagnetic spheres in the column amplify the magnetic
field by 10,000-fold, thus inducing a high gradient. Unlabeled cells
pass through while magnetically labeled cell are retained within
the column. After removal of the column from the magnetic field,
the retained fraction can be eluted. Both fractions, labeled and
non labeled, are completely recovered.
