SepMate™ is a tube that facilitates the isolation of PBMCs or specific cell types by density gradient centrifugation. SepMate™ tubes contain an insert that provides a barrier between the density gradient medium and blood. SepMate™ eliminates the need for careful layering of blood (or bone marrow or cord blood) onto the density gradient medium, and allows for fast and easy harvesting of the isolated mononuclear cells with a simple pour. SepMate™ is also compatible with RosetteSep™ enrichment cocktails, allowing isolation of specific cell types in less than 30 minutes.
SepMate™-50 is designed for processing samples from 4 to 17 mL of sample.
Advantages: • Eliminates the need for carefully layering blood over the density gradient medium (e.g. Ficoll-Paque™, Lymphoprep™ ) • Reduces total centrifuge time to 10 minutes with the brake on for fresh samples • Allows fast and easy harvesting of the isolated mononuclear cells by simply pouring off the supernatant • Can be combined with RosetteSep™ enrichment cocktails to isolate specific cell types in just 25 minutes Components:
