The Good
Detailed protocol comes with the product so that there is minimal optimization. Can be combined with other positive-selection microbeads so that multiple cell types can be obtained from a single biological sample if so desired. Purity and yield of isolated cells was excellent.
The Bad
Additional flow cytometric analysis required following separation for validation of the technique. Product is only available in one size.
The Bottom Line
If you want to isolate CD14+ monocytes or macrophages from human PBMC, this product should be seriously considered based on its ease of use and consistent performance.
