gentleMACS™ benchtop dissociator is used for semi-automated dissociation of tissues into single-cell suspensions or thorough homogenates.

• Single sample or two samples in parallel can be processed
• Optimized gentleMACS Programs for a variety of specific applications
• Special protocols for various tissues
• Two types of gentleMACS™ tubes enable time-saving and easy dissociation of tissues in a closed system

The standardised tissue dissociation or homogenization procedures make for reliable and reproducible results.

Programs have been developed for the homogenisation of tissues:
total RNA or mRNA isolation from fresh or frozen samples
protein extraction
determination of bacterial or viral load
mitochondria isolation

Pre-set gentleMACS Octo Dissociator Programs have been developed for easy dissociation of tissues into single-cell suspensions, including:
mouse or human tumor
mouse or rat neonatal heart
neural tissue
mouse spleen, lung, lamina propria, muscle, epidermis, or liver
mouse or human skin and more
