Supplemental Cell Selection Reagents & MagCellect Magnet

Column Racks

Column racks for Cell Enrichment Column Kits are available in two sizes. Standard, which holds 5 small or mini columns (Catalog # RACK) and large, which holds 3 large columns (Catalog # LRACK).

MagCellect™ Magnet (Catalog # MAG997)

The MagCellect Magnet is designed to effectively work with all MagCellect kits and reagents. The magnet can accommodate six 12 x 75 mm (5 mL) or two 17 x 100 mm (15 mL) round bottom tubes. The magnet is designed to be used with magnetic nanoparticles of 100 nm diameter or greater for both positive and negative cell selection applications.

MagCellect Ferrofluids

R&D Systems’ MagCellect technology is based on the use of Ferrofluids (magnetic nanoparticles) that have no magnetic memory. These magnetic particles have a diameter of ~150 nm and as a result behave like colloidal particles. This allows the particles to remain in solution without the need for mixing and additionally allows for efficient diffusion kinetics during the binding reaction. The proprietary manufacturing technology of MagCellect Ferrofluids generates particles with higher ligand binding capacity per mass compared to many other larger diameter magnetic particles.

MagCellect Streptavidin Ferrofluid (Catalog # MAG999)
A colloid of magnetic nanoparticles conjugated to streptavidin.

MagCellect Goat Anti-Mouse IgG Ferrofluid (Catalog # MAG998)
A colloid of magnetic nanoparticles conjugated to goat anti-mouse IgG.

Erythrocyte Lysing Kits

R&D Systems’ Erythrocyte Lysing Kits are designed to gently lyse erythrocytes from leukocyte cell preparations and stabilize the leukocytes with fixative for later analysis by flow cytometry. Cells exposed to the lysing reagent retain their natural light scattering characteristics and fluorescent staining by flow cytometry. This erythrocyte lysing method also has an advantage over other lysing methods in that the viability of unfixed cells is maintained. The fixative and lysing reagents are provided as separate reagents, thus, allowing cells to be used in tissue culture following erythrocyte lysis.

Human Erythrocyte Lysing Kit (Catalog # WL1000)
Kits optimized for lysis of human erythrocytes.

Mouse Erythrocyte Lysing Kit (Catalog # WL2000)
Kits optimized for lysis of mouse erythrocytes.
