Streptavidin Ferrofluid

Streptavidin Ferrofluid Summary

• Description: The MagCellect Streptavidin Ferrofluid (SAV-FF) is a colloid of magnetic nanoparticles conjugated to streptavidin. MagCellect SAV-FF is optimized for the isolation of specific cell populations via negative or positive selection using MagCellect Magnet

Packaging, Storage & Formulations

• Storage: Store at 4C. Do not freeze.

Notes

Precaution: Some components of this kit contain Sodium Azide, which may react with lead and copper plumbing to form explosive metallic azides. Flush with large volumes of water during disposal. Other Supplies Required: MagCellect Magnet or equivalent, Phosphate buffered saline supplemented with 0.5% BSA, 2 mM EDTA, and preservative, 12 x 75 mm (5 ml) polystyrene round bottom tube, and Sterile Pasteur pipettes or transfer pipettes

Background

MagCellect products are designed for the isolation of cells in a "liquid phase". MagCellect technology is based on the use of ferrofluids or magnetic nanoparticles that have no magnetic memory (superparamagnetic) and behave like colloidal particles. This feature allows the ferrofluids to remain in solution without the need for mixing and additionally allows for efficient diffusion kinetics during the binding reaction. The proprietary manufacturing technology of MagCellect Ferrofluids generates particles with higher ligand binding capacity per mass compared to many other larger diameter magnetic particles.

Limitations

This product is for research use only and is not approved for use in humans or in clinical diagnosis. Support products are guaranteed for 6 months from date of receipt.
