MACS is used to isolate specific cell types from a heterogeneous sample based on surface markers. It enhances the purity and efficiency of cell sorting for research, diagnostic, and therapeutic applications.
How does MACS differ from other cell sorting techniques?
MACS uses magnetic beads coated with antibodies to isolate cells, making it more precise and faster than other methods like flow cytometry or gradient centrifugation. It also allows for higher purity of isolated cells.
What are the benefits of using MACS for stem cell research?
MACS is widely used in stem cell research to isolate stem cells with high purity, which is essential for studying differentiation, gene expression, and therapeutic applications. It ensures that the stem cells remain viable for further use.
