Two powerful technologies

MARS Acoustic Wash

Acoustic debris removal is a label-free technique that utilizes acoustic waves to manipulate and separate cells based on their physical properties, including size and density. 

Unlike conventional approaches, acoustic debris removal offers ease of operation, gentle processing and high purity of separated cells. It is also excellent for handling delicate and fragile cell types and single nuclei in preparation for single-cell genomics experiments.

MARS Magnetic Separation

Our proprietary in-flow technology of column-free immunomagnetic separation provides a highly flexible, scalable, and cost-effective solution for cell separation. MARS magnetic separation eliminates the need for a matrix columns, reducing cell loss and delivering high cell purity and excellent recoveries for various samples. 

The MARS® Mag modules are supported by optimized protocols for automated cell enrichment or depletion, ensuring assay reproducibility. The technology also boasts unlimited capacity, as the captured cells are eluted cyclically at pre-defined time intervals until all cells are separated.

MARS® system

Acoustic debris removal and In-flow Immunomagnetic cell isolation are two technologies for positive and negative cell selection workflows, that enable the separation of specific target cell subpopulations with high purity, recovery and viability. MARS® is an open platform, which means that is supports a range of magnetic bead types, including beads directly coated with antibodies against specific cell surface markers or a molecule, to best match your application and the target cell type you plan to isolate.
