RoboSep™
Fully Automated, Walk-Away Cell Isolation
Streamline your cell isolations using RoboSep™, the fully automated cell isolation platform. The RoboSep™-S and RoboSep™-16 instruments offer true walk-away automation while retaining the speed and simplicity of with as little as 5 minutes of hands-on time.
Why Use RoboSep™ Instruments?
- Isolated cells are immediately ready for flow cytometry, functional studies or other downstream applications.
- Virtually any cell type can be isolated from a wide range of sample sources and sizes using positive or negative selection protocols.
- Perform sequential or simultaneous cell isolations from up to 16 samples.
- With a column-free design and minimal sample handling required, the risk of exposure to dangerous pathogens is minimized.
- Disposable tips and a column-free system eliminate the risk of sample cross-contamination.
- For special or non-standard applications, our experts can work with you to design protocols to isolate cells of interest.
- No daily washing or decontamination is required.
By combining an exceptionally compact design, a simple, user-friendly interface and the fast and easy cell separation protocols you’ve come to expect from STEMCELL Technologies, RoboSep™-S fits easily into the workflow of any lab that needs the multi-sample processing capacity, speed, reliability and convenience of automated cell isolation. Place multiple units side-by-side in biological safety cabinets or on lab benches and perform simultaneous cell isolations for up to 4 samples or sequential isolation of up to 4 cell types from the same sample. Simply select your protocol, load the samples and reagents, press “Run” and return in 25 to 60 minutes to collect your separated cells.

Key Applications
This describes a method used by the Florida Tissue Typing Laboratory to sequentially isolate B cells, T cells, myeloid cells, and NK cells starting from a single sample of HetaSep™-treated blood for their chimerism analysis.
New ex vivo models enable a closer approximation of the in vivo environment than traditional in vitro approaches. Here we highlight that employ a variety of ex vivo models to gain deeper insight into the dynamics of HIV infection.
