With parallel processing of up to 3 samples, bags compatible holding arm, and the sample flow rate of 1 mL/min, MARS Bar and MARS Bar Flex modules allow for hands-off analysis of a large variety of volumes and samples in a short time.
Three independent modules ensure the functionality of a system, even in the unlikely event of a module clogging.
Our matrix-free magnetic column reduces dead volume and cell trapping for more efficient positive or negative cell enrichment and higher recovery.
In-line pressure sensors

4 of 4MARS Bars systems demonstrated a consistent and simple scaling-up capacity.
Equipped with a Bag arm and pre-programmed for a repeated releasing cycles, provides the capacity to process billions of cells in a single closed system operation.
