Four ways to approach magnetic separation

Choose a platform according to the desired cell state, labeling strategy, sample and downstream requirements.

01

Column-Free Negative

Enrich untouched target cells without using a separation column.

02

Column-Free Positive

Directly isolate labeled target cells in a column-free workflow.

03

Column Negative

Use column-assisted depletion to enrich the target population.

04

Column Positive

Capture labeled target cells with a column-assisted approach.

Research applications

Built around real downstream workflows

Cell isolation is the starting point. Product selection should reflect what happens next in the experiment.

IMMUNOLOGY

Immunology & Immune Cell Biology

Prepare defined T-cell, B-cell, NK-cell and myeloid populations for activation, signaling and functional studies.

ONCOLOGY

Cancer Immunology

Support tumor–immune interaction, cytotoxicity, immune-surveillance and microenvironment research.

ANALYSIS

Flow Cytometry & Cell Analysis

Generate enriched populations for staining, phenotyping, gating development and downstream functional analysis.

DISCOVERY

Drug Discovery & Screening

Use primary immune cells in mechanism-of-action studies and efficacy-focused functional assays.
