The In vitro diagnostic 50ml workflows for PBMC isolation become faster and more consistent with the SepMate™‑50 (IVD) from StemCell Technologies. Available in South Africa through Apex Scientific, this centrifugation tube streamlines density gradient separation, reduces handling time, and improves reproducibility in regulated laboratory processes.
Simplified PBMC Isolation Workflow
The SepMate™‑50 (IVD) includes a built‑in insert that creates a barrier between the density gradient medium and blood. This design removes the need for slow, careful layering. After centrifugation, you can pour off the supernatant to collect mononuclear cells in seconds. Fresh samples take only 10 minutes to process with the brake on, allowing rapid turnaround for busy labs.
Key Advantages
- Time Savings – Minimize centrifugation time and recover PBMCs without delicate pipetting.
- High Compatibility – Works with Lymphoprep™ and combines with RosetteSep™ cocktails to isolate specific immune cell subsets in just 30 minutes.
- Scalable Capacity – Handles larger sample volumes, ideal for high‑throughput applications.
Quality and Compliance
StemCell Technologies produces the SepMate™‑50 (IVD) under cGMP. It is registered as an in vitro diagnostic device in multiple global regions. The durable polypropylene design and sterile packaging support safe, compliant laboratory use.
