Stemcell Technologies EasySep Magnet for Cell Separation without Columns

Stemcell Technologies EasySep Magnet for Column-Free Immunomagnetic Cell Separation (18000)

The Stemcell Technologies EasySep Magnet (18000) is a specialized, high-performance benchtop magnetic separator designed for rapid, column-free immunomagnetic isolation of specific cell populations from biological samples. Engineered for use with EasySep isolation kits, this permanent magnet housing utilizes high-flux rare-earth neodymium magnets to generate a powerful, localized magnetic field gradient. By eliminating the need for delicate columns or matrix liquid channels, the EasySep Magnet allows targeted cells to be cross-linked with magnetic particles and held firmly against the interior walls of a standard 5 mL polystyrene tube. Unwanted, unlabeled cells are simply poured off in a single fluid inversion step, yielding purified, unlabelled target cells that remain fully functional for downstream cell culture, flow cytometry, or functional assays.

Technical Performance & Structural Attributes

• High-Gradient Neodymium Magnetic Core: Encapsulates powerful rare-earth permanent magnets that rapidly pull antibody-bound immunomagnetic particles to the tube wall within 2.5 to 10 minutes.
• Column-Free Cell Isolation Interface: Eliminates column clogging, non-specific cell trapping, and expensive consumable column costs, significantly improving cell viability and recovery.
• Single-Motion Pour-Off Protocol: Streamlines cell separation workflows by allowing operator to simply invert the magnet assembly to decant non-targeted cells while targeted cells remain bound inside.
• Precision Fit for Standard 12 x 75 mm Tubes: Precision-machined cavity accepts standard 5 mL round-bottom polystyrene tubes (e.g., Falcon 12 x 75 mm tubes) for smooth sample processing.
• Durable Chemical-Resistant Housing: Smooth exterior coating stands up to routine laboratory sanitization, ethanol wipes, and biosafety cabinet decontamination procedures.
