When you are getting ready to rent or lease a cell separator, or several of these devices depending on the type of work you are doing and the size of your lab, you need the best. However, the “best” can often vary based on the needs that you might have. Some of the most important things that you will want to consider when you are choosing your cell separators include the cell separation method, along with the types of features and options that the device has. In some cases, there may be a need for different types of cell separators in the lab that can offer different methods of separation. Again, this is going to be dependent on the specific needs at your lab.

Additionally, you will want to look at the control interface for the cell separator. Different devices will often have different features and will work somewhat differently from other models. You want to choose a model that is going to be relatively easy to use. Still, even when you have lab equipment that has a simple interface, only those who are trained in using the equipment should be doing so. Otherwise, there could be problems with the equipment or inaccuracies in the results.

There are several cell separation techniques in use today. They include adherence, density, antibody binding, and newer “lab-on-a-chip” methods. The type of cell separation that is used is typically going to be dependent on the cell source, along with the characteristics of the cell type, and how pure it has to be. The adhesion method is often used in cases where there is no real requirement other than having the adherent cells isolated.

In the realm of biological research, cell separation is an important technique that has been gaining favor and usage over the years. The use of cell separators helps those who are working in the fields of regenerative medicine, tissue engineering, medical and biological research, cancer therapy, and more. It has helped to further discoveries in the field of cell biology. It is possible to sort cells into populations and makes it easier to study individual types of cells that have been isolated from other populations.

Some of the many manufacturers that are making cell separators today include Gambro, Coulter, Biocell, Thermo Fisher Scientific, and Jain Laboratory Instruments. There are many options from these and other companies that could work well for your needs.
