The gentleMACS Octo Dissociator with Heaters offers everything you need to reliably obtain viable single cells or intact nuclei from virtually any tissue. Our innovative gentleMACS Technology enables standardized, gentle, and automated tissue dissociation or thorough homogenization, while still remaining adaptable to your tissue type.
This proven benchtop instrument offers the possibility of temperature control, allowing you to heat and cool your samples during sample preparation. Additionally, up to eight samples can be processed either in parallel or sequentially, providing even more flexibility and opening up a wide range of possibilities for your research.
Start smart and preserve surface epitopes, as well as the functionality of your cells of interest, to move forward with the downstream application you need.
Flexibility
This tissue dissociator is exceptionally versatile, featuring heating, cooling, and perfusion technology. It is capable of preparing single-cell and single-nuclei suspensions, providing flexibility for a wide range of research applications.
Easy to use
Simply place samples and reagents into gentleMACS Tubes, select your needed program, and let the gentleMACS Octo Dissociator with Heaters perform the dissociation or homogenization.
Reproducible results
Increase standardization and reproducibility by automating tissue dissociation while saving time and effort. Benefit from more than 80 predefined programs or user-defined programs.
Save time by parallelization
Process up to eight samples simultaneously or independently, even with different applications and at different temperatures.
