Overview

Elevate Your Cell Selection Process with X-BACS™ Technology

Our buoyancy-activated cell sorting (X-BACS™) technology offers researchers a novel way to select cells by combining the specificity of monoclonal antibodies and microbubbles. Isolate cells from a variety of sources –PMBC, dissociated tissues, whole blood, buffy coats and more. Fast, easy and gentle.

Microbubble Characteristics

• Our X-BACS™ Reagent is a lipid-based, streptavidin coated microbubbles that are gas filled and exhibit buoyancy when reconstituted

• When paired with a biotinylated antibody, cell selection can occur by floating selected cells to the surface during centrifugation while pelleting unwanted cells

• Our microbubbles are tailored made and fine-tuned for cell separation

• Unlike other selection platforms, there is no toxic exposure to iron from other bead-based systems

• Isolated cells are highly purified and ready for downstream use

The X-BACS™ Advantage

• Magnet-free – no need to buy additional expensive components

• Gentle on cells – cells are gently floated for separation

• Column-free – the cells are carried and separated by microbubbles directly in the vessel

• Consistent – obtain viable, functional cells with reproducible results

ThermoGenesis X-MINI® Selection Kit product line is being continually updated with new microbubble cell separation products.
