Miltenyi gentleMACS Dissociator

The Miltenyi gentleMACS Dissociator is a benchtop instrument designed for the semi-automated conversion of tissues into single-cell suspensions or thorough homogenates. Capable of processing either a single sample or two samples in parallel, this equipment utilizes unique gentleMACS Tubes that facilitate time-efficient and straightforward tissue dissociation or homogenization within a closed system. It features optimized gentleMACS Programs tailored for specific applications, with specialized protocols for diverse tissue types ensuring reliable and reproducible outcomes.

Optimized, pre-set gentleMACS Programs have been developed for effortless tissue dissociation into single-cell suspensions, applicable to tissues such as mouse or human tumors, mouse or rat neonatal heart, neural tissue, and organs like mouse spleen, lung, lamina propria, muscle, epidermis, liver, and skin from mice or humans. Additionally, programs cater to tissue homogenization for applications including total RNA or mRNA isolation from fresh or frozen samples, protein extraction, and the determination of bacterial or viral load, as well as mitochondria isolation.
