Miltenyi Biotec gentleMACS Octo Dissociator Automated Multi-sample Tissue Homogenizer

The Miltenyi Biotec gentleMACS Octo Dissociator (ref: 130-095-937) is a benchtop automated tissue dissociation and homogenization instrument designed for efficient preparation of viable single-cell suspensions. It facilitates parallel processing of up to eight samples using customizable protocols optimized for diverse tissue types, supporting volumes from 300 µL to 10 mL and tissue masses between 20 mg and 4000 mg.

Key technical specifications include:

This instrument is widely adopted in fields such as oncology research for tumor dissociation, neural tissue processing for primary neuron culture, immune cell isolation from spleen or lymph nodes, and organ dissociation supporting stem cell and regenerative medicine studies. The gentle dissociation algorithms are critical in maintaining cell viability and functionality, making it an indispensable tool for bioprocessing, gene editing protocols, and single-cell analysis workflows.

The system is compact, conserving valuable benchtop space, and includes a safety shield to ensure user protection during operation. Its design facilitates integration into complex laboratory setups focused on fluorescence analysis, live-cell imaging, and synthetic biology research pipelines.

Included items with purchase are the device itself, a safety shield, and a standard power cord. The instrument undergoes comprehensive in-house servicing and testing protocols, ensuring full functionality, including motor operation, sample port integrity, tube detection, and spin function.

This automated multi-position tissue dissociator is essential for biotechnology laboratories requiring reproducible, gentle tissue processing for downstream applications such as molecular cloning workflows, biomanufacturing, and molecular diagnostics. Its ability to simultaneously process multiple samples makes it critical in biopharmaceutical production pipelines and high-throughput research environments.
