Cell Isolation

Cell Isolation Cell isolation products help with the separation and recovery of desired cell types from a given sample, such as tissue, blood, or culture. The extraction of cells from a more complex, heterogeneous mixture is an important procedure to enable cell culture and analysis of specific cell types. Various methods of separation can utilize fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS), magnetic separation, and microfluidics. Capitalizing on these methods, this catalog includes various cell sorting and dispensing instruments, separator devices, as well as kits and reagents from different manufacturers and suppliers. These may be used for volume reduction of blood components, recovery of mononucleated cells from cord blood, the concentration of bone marrow, dispensing of single cells, and other cell isolation applications. Similar products are available to isolate organelles, such as mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, and nuclei. As you explore these cell isolation options, consider the needs of the particular cell type, as well as any downstream applications as these can be affected by the sorting method.

    Overcoming Limitations of Conventional Cell Sorting

    Conventional cell sorting can be a harsh process that not all cell types can go through unharmed. In particular, SICS, or sorter-induced cellular stress, has been a recent area of concdern. This article discusses a myriad of strategies that were designed to improve on established methods.
