Processing Multiple Samples at One Time with the EasyEights™ Magnet
The EasyEights™ EasySep™ Magnet is for cell separation procedures using selected EasySep™ reagents when simultaneously processing multiple samples
The EasyEights™ EasySep™ Magnet is designed for cell separation procedures using selected EasySep™ reagents when simultaneously processing multiple samples, up to eight samples on each side, a total of 16 samples. The EasyEights™ Magnet has a large sample range, capable of processing small samples, starting at 0.1 x 10e8 cells, to larger samples, up to 8.5 x 10e8 cells.
Follow these important tips to ensure consistent results with the EasyEights™ Magnet:
- Ensure that you follow the specific EasyEights™ protocol. This is a stand-alone protocol, and is not included in the standard Product Information Sheet (PIS).
- Please check for a list of compatible kits. For further information, please contact Technical Support at techsupport@stemcell.com.
- Incubation times in the EasyEights™ Magnet may be longer compared to EasySep™ Magnet and Big Easy EasySep™ Magnet protocols.
- Use correct plasticware on the correct side of the magnet.
- One side of the EasyEights™ EasySep™ Magnet (STEMCELL Technologies logo) is designed to hold up to 8 x 5 mL polystyrene Round-Bottom tubes (e.g. Falcon® 5 mL Polystyrene Round-Bottom Tubes; Corning® Catalog #352058).
- The other side (EasySep™ logo) is designed to hold up to 8 x 14 mL polystyrene round-bottom tubes (e.g. Falcon® 14 mL Polystyrene Round-Bottom Tubes; Corning® Catalog #352057) or 8 x 15 mL conical tubes (e.g. Corning®, Catalog #430053).

Figure 2b - 5 mL tube seated incorrectly
Figure 2c - 14 mL tubes in EasyEights™ EasySep™ Magnet. The third tube is seated incorrectly; it is not sitting in the indentation. The other tubes are all seated correctly.
- At the end of the procedure, pipette off the supernatant, do not pour off. It is recommended to collect the entire enriched cell suspension, all at once, into a single pipette.
We recommend using:
- A 2 mL serological pipette for the EasyEights™ 5 mL tubes.
- A 10 mL serological pipette for the EasyEights™ 14 mL tubes.
