Cell Isolation Technologies and Products Overview
Immunomagnetic Cell Separation Technologies
EasySep™ Fast, Easy and Column-Free Cell Isolation
Typical Sample Source:
Features/Advantages:
- Isolate highly purified cells in as little as 8 minutes without columns
- Cells are immediately ready for downstream analysis
- Isolate cells from virtually any sample source or size
- Fully automate using RoboSep™ cell separation technology
RoboSep™ Fully Automated Cell Isolation
Typical Sample Source:
Features/Advantages:
- Perform sequential or simultaneous cell separation from up to 16 samples
- Minimize sample handling and eliminate cross-contamination
- Use fast and easy pre-programmed protocols for routine cell isolation or custom protocols for special applications
StemSep™ Column-Based Cell Isolation
Typical Sample Source:
Features/Advantages:
- A wide selection of antibodies are available for custom separations
- Cell isolation reagents can be used on other immunomagnetic column-based systems including manual and automated systems
- Magnetic particles do not interfere with subsequent FACS analysis or other downstream applications
We use EasySep™ because of its ease of use and the high purity that we get from the preparation. I especially like the negative selection kits because it allows us to keep the cells that we collect as undisturbed as possible.
We like the reliability of the RoboSep™, the minimization/elimination of specimen handling by the tech during subset separation, and the low maintenance of the instrument. These factors are important to us with such a high throughput of samples processed.

Immunodensity Cell Separation Technologies
RosetteSep™ Cell Isolation Directly From Whole Blood
Typical Sample Source:
Features/Advantages:
- Isolate untouched cells directly from whole blood during standard density gradient centrifugation
- No columns, magnets or special training required
- Combine RosetteSep™ with SepMate™ to reduce centrifugation time and minimize variability
SepMate™ Hassle-Free PBMC Isolation
Typical Sample Source:
Features/Advantages:
- Isolate PBMCs directly from whole blood in just 15 minutes
- Avoid the need for slow and laborious sample layering over density gradient medium
- Simply pour off PBMCs after centrifugation
- Minimize variability between separations
- Combine with RosetteSep™ to isolate specific cell subsets

I tested the SepMate™ tubes yesterday and they worked… fantastically! I ran in parallel the same sample with my standard protocol and the cell recovery was the same (in a quarter of the time, of course).
