MACSQuant®
Tyto® Cell Sorter
The MACSQuant® Tyto® is revolutionizing cell sorting with a technology based on a microchip, all in a single, fully sterile, and easy-to-use cartridge. Cell sorting occurs when three lasers examine the cells in a high-speed, multiparameter flow, but gentle on the cells with low pressure and minimal shear forces. The MACSQuant® Tyto® provides a simple, autonomous operation in a single container that allows sorting of even the most delicate cells, even in hazardous solutions. It is also equipped for GMP environments, meeting new standards for basic research and medical applications.
1. Total Sterility
Samples remain free from contamination inside the fully enclosed, disposable MACSQuant Tyto cartridge. There is no risk of fluid transfer or contamination.
2. Fast and Easy Handling
No drop delay or laser alignment is required. Simply insert the cartridge, open the cells, and sort.
3. Completely Safe
The fully enclosed cartridge prevents the formation of aerosols and droplets, providing a safe environment for both the operator and the sample.
4. Gentle on Cells
Sort and even re-sort cells at low pressure without compromising cell viability or functionality. Cells are no longer exposed to high pressure, strain, or decompression.
