The Human Monocyte Isolation Kit was developed with BACS™ Microbubbles for the enrichment of untouched CD14+ monocytes. Unwanted cells are depleted through negative selection.
This kit can process up to 1 billion MNCs.
Fast & easy workflow enriches human mononuclear cells (MNCs) for classical monocytes in 30 minutes
No magnet, no column, no harsh chemicals
Microbubble enrichment maintains cell health and physiology
The Human CD14+ Monocyte Isolation Kit delivers a high purity population of classical human monocytes that are ready for downstream use. The BACS™ Microbubble workflow is exceptionally gentle on cells, helping to maintain the health and physiology of monocytes during enrichment.
Mechanism of Action: The Human CD14+ Monocyte Isolation Kit uses a negative selection method to remove unwanted cell populations and effectively enrich CD14+ monocytes. Unwanted cells are labeled with an optimized cocktail of biotinylated antibodies targeting CD3, CD5, CD15, CD16, CD19, CD20, CD56, CD57, CD66b, CD123, CD235ab, CD314.
How it Works: The biotinylated antibody cocktail is added to the sample to label unwanted cells. BACS™ Microbubbles are added to the sample and bind to the antibody-labeled cells. Microbubbles bound to the undesired cells, quickly and gently float the undesired cells to the surface. CD14+ monocytes, the cells of interest, are pelleted through centrifugation. Microbubble-bound cells and supernatant are easily aspirated away, leaving untouched and enriched CD14+ monocytes healthy and ready for downstream use.

Key Features
The Human Monocyte Isolation Kit leverages Akadeum’s novel Buoyancy Activated Cell Sorting (BACS™) technology to deliver a highly enriched population of healthy, viable CD14+ monocytes. BACS™ Microbubbles are fast, easy-to-use, and gentle on cells. The BACS™ Microbubble isolation platform minimizes handling by enabling single-tube processing, limiting unnecessarily loss of cells. The monocyte isolation protocol is fast and simple, taking just 30 minutes and not requiring magnets or columns. The result is a population of highly pure classical monocytes that are healthy and ready for downstream use.

Data
Untouched CD14+ monocytes were isolated from MNCs using the Human CD14+ Monocyte Isolation Kit (13210-220). Isolated cells were labeled with CD14-PE and CD16-APC/Fire750. The fluorescently labeled cells were analyzed by flow cytometry. Debris and dead cells were excluded from analysis.
