1×106 cells from a single-cell suspension of P22 mouse brain were stained
with CD11b-APC without (left) and with (right) previous myelin removal
using Myelin Removal Beads. The dot plots show that in samples with
previous myelin removal, higher percentages of CD11b-positive cells are
stained. Dead cells were excluded using propidium iodide. Only the
positive cells along with positive debris are displayed in side and forward

Cell separation
    The fast track to pure, viable cells




    Manual cell separation
    All that is necessary for manual separation is a MultiStand with
    a MACS Separator, columns and our separation reagents.

    The Starter Kits are the easiest way to begin cell separation:
    •	 Simple: the kit contains everything you need – separator,
       columns and MicroBeads
    •	 Flexible: order with antigen-specific MicroBeads of your
       choice
    •	 Value: save on the price of individual components


    Automated cell separation
    The autoMACS Pro® Separator is a benchtop automated                     Figure 10: OctoMACS Separator with MS Columns on MACS MultiStand
    magnetic cell sorter for the isolation of virtually any cell type
    from any species:
    •	 Convenient: standardized walk-away cell isolation
    •	 Versatile: isolate virtually any cell type, and also remove
       myelin debris
    •	 Simple: an intuitive touchscreen interface and preset
       programs for optimal results
    •	 Flexible: with high-speed sorting of more than 10 million
       cells per second and volumes from 0.2 mL to 50 mL.
    •	 Time-saving: Multiple samples with less hands-on time

       “In contrast to very low numbers of microglia obtained
        with conventional cellular depletion methods, we could
        increase the purity to more than 95% by using CD11b
        Microglia MicroBeads.
                                                                            Figure 11: autoMACS Pro Separator
        Based on our long-term experience, we can highly
        recommend the products from Miltenyi Biotec. These
        products allow a time-efficient and reproducible cell
        separation, also in a high-throughput manner and with
        an excellent quality.“
