Red Blood Cell Depletion Magnetic Beads
- Separation of Human Red Blood Cells, from whole blood.
- Remaining white blood cells can be used for downstream assays such as immunoassays, Western blots, FACS, and immunohistochemistry.
- Bead mean diameter is ~0.5 μm, bead concentration is 20 mg/mL.
Red Blood Cell Depletion Magnetic Beads recognizes human red blood cells. Red Blood Cell Depletion Magnetic Beads is recommended for the depletion of human Red Blood Cells in samples prior to downstream immunological and non-immunological assays and has been tested in Flow Cytometry. Some additional assays could include Colony Forming Unit (CFU) Assay and Immunohistochemistry among others. These magnetic beads are uniform, non-aggregating, super-paramagnetic beads consisting of a ferric oxide core functionalized with various silane groups. The beads have a large surface area with high capture efficiencies.
Red Blood Cell Depletion Magnetic Beads can be used for separation of Red Blood Cells, from whole blood. Remaining white blood cells can be used for downstream assays such as immunoassays, Western blots, FACS, and immunohistochemistry. For 100 µL of whole blood cells add 75 µL of Depletion beads, expecting 75 – 95% depletion of RBC after one pass. Optimal amount for applications should be determined by the researcher.
