How it Works
1. Microbubbles mix with the sample.
2. Microbubbles capture target cells.
3. Target cells float to the surface for removal.
Fast
Rapid and easy cell isolation, and with no magnet required!
No Magnet
There are no magnets to purchase and store, and no harsh and variable forces.
Compatible
Use with the downstream method of your choice: Culture, PCR, Flow Cytometry, etc.
No Column
Microbubbles quickly float to the top of any container, regardless of size or shape.
Gentle
Buoyant forces offer a more gentle cell-separation approach.
