The optimization of cell separation methods plays a crucial role for many researchers. Various approaches exist for sorting different cell types, and the choice of the appropriate method often depends on the cell type or cell subset. One of the faster and more cost-effective methods for separating cells based on density is centrifugation.
pluriMate tubes are specially designed tubes for fast and efficient isolation of leukocytes from whole blood samples and are a real alternative to Leucosep or SepMate tubes. They are an aid for density gradient centrifugation to enable fast, precise separation of leukocytes from other cell populations such as erythrocytes. The tubes are filled with a density gradient separation medium that enables fast and reliable isolation of leukocytes, including lymphocytes and monocytes.
The procedure is simple: after filling the tube with the blood sample, centrifugation takes place. Due to the different densities of the various blood cells, the sample separates into different layers in the tube. The leukocytes collect at the designated separation zone, allowing them to be easily removed and used for further examinations or applications.
pluriMate tubes offer a time-saving and user-friendly solution that does not require additional steps such as manual separation or the use of special antibodies. They ensure a high purity of the isolated leukocytes and are particularly suitable for applications in immunology, cell research and diagnostics. The ease of use and speed of performance make the pluriMate tubes a valuable tool for laboratories that regularly perform cell separations.
