Why is MARS the solution to use for cell therapy development?
The MARS workflow enables fast, centrifuge-free separation of immunomagnetically labelled cells, directly eluting them into optimal media for immediate downstream processing downstream applications including activation and expansion. Our proprietary column-free technology provides high purity and recovery of target cells, efficiently removing unwanted cells. MARS streamlines the workflow, minimizing manipulation steps and improving purity and recovery. […]
Optimized rare cell isolation for mouse and human samples
The isolation of rare cells is critical in many research and clinical applications, where high purity is essential for accurate analysis and downstream processes. Currently used column-based methods often require multiple rinsing steps and involve a time consuming process, which may also affect the viability of the isolated cells. This application note introduces the new […]

Enrichment of multiple myeloma plasma cells for disease monitoring at MGUS and MRD stages
Bone marrow plasma cells characterization is key for diagnosing and monitoring hematologic malignancies, including multiple myeloma (MM). In MM patients, plasma cell numbers can vary, from less than 0.01% to as much as 100% of the total cell population, depending on the stage of the disease. Accurate detection and analysis of plasma cells are especially […]

AACR 2024: A Novel Automated Platform for Rapid Manufacturing of CAR-T Cells
Autologous cell therapy using T cells that are genetically modified to express a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) has yielded durable responses in patients with cancers. However, globally only a small fraction of eligible patients are privileged to receive the treatment. High cost and long manufacturing time contribute to the key limitations prohibiting a broad adoption […]
Column-Free CD14+ Monocyte Isolation using 50nm Superparamagentic Beads on MARS® Bar
Dendritic cells are professional antigen-presenting cells and they play a key role in the regulation of immune responses. Dendritic cells are widely used as vaccines and drugs for cancer treatment in a large number of trials. Macrophages are essential innate immune cells and when activated, macrophages can mediate the phagocytosis of dangerous cells or materials […]
