RoboSep-S Fully Automated Immunomagnetic Cell Separator

Procurement Summary

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is the nation’s leading medical research agency and the primary Federal agency whose mission is to seek fundamental knowledge about the nature and behavior of living systems and the application of that knowledge. The mission of the NIH also includes enhancing health, lengthening life, reducing illness and disability, conducting, supporting, and making medical discoveries that improves and saves people’s health and lives. The mission of the National Institute on Aging (NIA)’s Laboratory of Molecular Biology and Immunology (LMBI)’s, is to understand the genetic and genomic determinants of aging. The Laboratory also studies the genetic and genomic basis of pathologies that increase in the elderly, including neurodegenerative, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, arthritis, obesity and cancer. RoboSep-S is the second generation of RoboSep, a fully automated cell separator based on column-free EasySep technology. EasySep is an immunomagnetic cell separation Page 2 of 6 technology that enables both positive and negative selection of desired cells from virtually any sample source or size. RoboSep-S can be programmed to separate cells from up to four samples simultaneously and can also sequentially isolate different cell types from the same sample. The user simply loads the cell sample and reagents into the carousel and starts the experiment. RoboSep-S automatically executes the EasySep immunomagnetic labeling and magnetic separation steps using disposable pipette tips, eliminating cross-contamination. After completion of the cell separation cycle, the cells of interest are immediately available for any application.
