Miltenyi Biotec gentleMACS Octo Dissociator with 2 Heaters Unit 2 for Automated Tissue Dissociation

The Miltenyi Biotec gentleMACS Octo Dissociator with 2 Heaters Unit 2 is a high-throughput, automated tissue dissociation system designed to efficiently process up to eight samples simultaneously. Equipped with two integrated heating units (expandable up to eight), it ensures precise temperature control to optimize enzymatic activity during tissue dissociation, making it essential for molecular diagnostics and cell preparation workflows in biotechnology research.

Key technical specifications and features include:

• Rotational speed: 200 to 4000 RPM, with clockwise and counterclockwise operation to ensure gentle yet thorough sample processing.
• Rotational acceleration: 100 r/s², delivering consistent torque of minimum 150 mNm with overload safety restrictions across the speed range.
• Sample capacity: Supports sample volumes from 300 µL up to 10 mL and tissue masses between 20 to 4000 mg, compatible with gentleMACS C Tubes and M Tubes (consumables sold separately).
• Heating units: Two included, with the option to add additional heaters up to a total of eight, enabling simultaneous temperature-controlled dissociation of multiple samples.
• User interface: Intuitive, pre-set program controls facilitate easy operation for preparing single-cell suspensions and tissue samples for downstream bioprocessing applications.
• Design: Compact and robust, suitable for crowded lab environments in clinical diagnostics, synthetic biology, and biomanufacturing facilities.

This system is widely adopted in biotechnology and biomedical engineering labs for applications including:

• Isolation and preparation of single-cell suspensions from complex tissue samples
• Dissociation of organoids, tumors, and primary cell cultures for research and therapeutic development
• Enrichment and generation of immune cell subsets for advanced molecular biology and gene editing workflows
• High-throughput bioprocessing critical in biopharmaceutical production pipelines

The gentleMACS Octo Dissociator ensures reproducible cell viability and sample integrity, critical for molecular cloning workflows and live-cell imaging downstream assays. Supported by comprehensive technical service, warranty, and optional training, this instrument is a reliable core device for laboratories focused on synthetic biology, molecular diagnostics, and cell-based research.
