Results Summary

The matrix of the LS Columns is composed of ferromagnetic spheres, which are covered with a cell-friendly coating allowing fast and gentle separation of cells.When placed in the magnetic field, the spheres amplify the magnetic field by 10,000-fold, thus inducing a high gradient within the column. This helps selection of cells.

Summary

The Good

Works well with all cell lines.

The Bad

Maybe a little more expensive.

The Bottom Line

LS Columns can be used to separate material less than 30 μm in size. The columns are individually packed in a sterile way. This suspension minimizes stress on the cells and allows for efficient sterile washing by avoiding cell aggregation.
