  Separation of a whole blood sample using the StraightFrom ® Whole Blood CD56 MicroBeads and the MultiMACS™ Cell24 Separator Plus with the Single-Column Adapter and Whole Blood Columns without washing step after labeling. Cells were fluorescently stained with CD56-PE, CD16‑APC, as well as CD45-VioBlue ® and analyzed by flow cytometry using the MACSQuant ® Analyzer. Cells were triggered via CD45-VioBlue, cell debris and dead cells were excluded from the analysis based on scatter signals and propidium iodide fluorescence.
