The autoMACS separator from Miltenyi Biotec is an automated bench-top magnetic cell sorter. It is capable of sorting up to 10 million cells per second from samples of up to 4x109 total cells. Employing the unique MACS technology, the autoMACS is designed for gentle and ultra high speed positive selection as well as depletion. It is compatible with almost any direct and indirect MACS reagents for the isolation of virtually any cell type. Cells that can be easily and efficiently isolated by using the autoMACS include human, rat, and mouse cells or cells from any other species, for example CD34+ progenitor cells, CD3+, CD4+, CD8+, CD14+, CD15+, CD56+ cells from human whole blood, cytokine-secreting cells, dendritic cells, disseminated tumor cells, and cells transfected using MACSelect.
You only have to magnetically label the cells and choose an autoMACS separation program. The rest is done automatically.
