Gentle MACS Dissociator
The gentleMACS™ Octo Dissociator with Heaters is a benchtop instrument for the fully automated and standardized tissue dissociation or homogenization of up to eight samples. It is equipped with several programs for specific biological material, including but not only:
- Mouse or human tumor
- Mouse or rat neonatal heart
- Neural tissue
- Mouse spleen, lung, lamina propria, epidermis, or liver
- Mouse or rat skeletal muscle
In addition, the instrument allows the user to create user-defined programs for almost any biological material. All eight positions can be operated independently.
Single-cell suspensions or thorough homogenates are easily and reproducibly obtained using the unique C Tubes or M Tubes. These single-use gentleMACS Tubes allow sample preparation in a closed and sterile system, providing a high level of user safety and minimize cross-contamination.
