A Mini & MidiMACS™ Starting Kit provides indispensable equipment for MACS
®
Cell Separations. The Mini & MidiMACS Starting Kit includes a MiniMACS Separator, a MidiMACS Separator, a MultiStand to attach the separators, MACS Columns, and a cell separation reagent of choice.
The decision for one or the other Mini & MidiMACS Starting Kit depends on the preference for LS Columns or LD Columns.
The MiniMACS Separator is used for smaller cell samples, which are separated over MS Columns, whereas larger samples are processed using the MidiMACS Separator in combination with LS or LD Columns.
