The AutoMACS Pro Separator by Miltenyi is an automated high-speed immunomagnetic cell separation system with the ability to process multiple samples at a time. Many cell types from several species and tissue types, including whole blood, can be processed with the AutoMACS Pro with the use of immunomagnetic beads. Cells can be separated using positive selection, depletion or untouched isolation programs. It can sort more than 10 million cells per second from a samples of up to 4×109 total cells. The instrument has a touch screen and easily navigable menus. The system reduces manual handling of samples and increases reproducibility.
