Miltenyi gentleMACS Octo Dissociator with 2 Integrated Heaters for Automated Tissue Dissociation

The Miltenyi gentleMACS Octo Dissociator with 2 Heaters is a specialized automated tissue dissociation instrument designed for efficient, reproducible isolation of single-cell suspensions from complex tissue samples. This benchtop device features:

• Multi-sample capacity: Processes up to eight samples concurrently, facilitating high-throughput workflows essential in molecular diagnostics and bioprocessing applications.
• Integrated heating modules: Includes two built-in heaters (expandable up to eight) to maintain optimal enzymatic activity during tissue dissociation, promoting consistent cell viability crucial for downstream cell culture and gene editing.
• Precise mechanical processing: Offers variable rotational speeds from 200 to 4000 RPM with bidirectional rotation and 100 r/s² acceleration, providing customizable dissociation protocols for diverse tissue types including organoids and tumor samples.
• Sample versatility: Compatible with gentleMACS C Tubes and M Tubes (not included), allowing processing of sample volumes from 300 µL to 10 mL and tissue masses from 20 mg to 4000 mg.
• Robust torque and overload protection: Minimum torque of 150 mNm with safety overload restriction ensures controlled mechanical dissociation without compromising sample integrity.
• User-friendly interface and compact design: Simplifies operation and integration in laboratory environments focused on cell imaging, synthetic biology, and biomanufacturing research domains.

This instrument supports a wide range of biotechnology and clinical research applications such as single-cell suspension preparation for flow cytometry, immune cell subset generation, and biopharmaceutical production pipelines. Its automated and reproducible performance is critical for molecular cloning workflows, live-cell imaging preparation, and cell-based assay development.

Technical verification processes ensure full functionality including motor performance, temperature control, and sample port integrity. The device is supported by a 120-day US warranty and 60-day international warranty, with technical sales consultation and installation support available.
