gentleMACS® Octo Dissociator with Heaters

MACS Sample Preparation Tissue dissociators and tubes gentleMACS® Octo Dissociator with Heaters Start smart with gentle and automated tissue dissociation The gentleMACS Octo Dissociator with Heaters offers everything you need to reliably obtain viable single cells or intact nuclei from virtually any tissue. Our innovative gentleMACS Technology enables standardized, gentle, and automated tissue dissociation or thorough homogenization, while still remaining adaptable to your tissue type. This proven benchtop instrument offers the possibility of temperature control, allowing you to heat and cool your samples during sample preparation. Additionally, up to eight samples can be processed either in parallel or sequentially, providing even more flexibility and opening up a wide range of possibilities for your research. Start smart and preserve surface epitopes, as well as the functionality of your cells of interest, to move forward with the downstream application you need. Features & specifications Tissue compatibility Flexibility This tissue dissociator is exceptionally versatile, featuring heating, cooling, and perfusion technology. It is capable of preparing single-cell and single-nuclei suspensions, providing flexibility for a wide range of research applications. Easy to use Simply place samples and reagents into gentleMACS Tubes, select your needed program, and let the gentleMACS Octo Dissociator with Heaters perform the dissociation or homogenization. Reproducible results Increase standardization and reproducibility by automating tissue dissociation while saving time and effort. Benefit from more than 80 predefined programs or user-defined programs. Save time by parallelization Process up to eight samples simultaneously or independently, even with different applications and at different temperatures. The gentleMACS Octo Dissociator with Heaters, with its automated, standardized tumor tissue dissociation protocols save us significant hands-on time while ensuring high cell viability and reproducibility across experiments. The intuitive interface makes it easy for our team to use, and having the capacity to process multiple samples in parallel has greatly improved our efficiency. It’s a reliable, user-friendly system that enabled our lab to connect nuclear medicine with cell biology.
