MARS Technology from Applied Cells
Product informationApplied Cells proprietary innovative MARS platform, short named after “Multi-physics Automated Reconfigurable Separation”, is ideal for high-throughput, high-efficiency, high-recovery, automated cell separation and sample preparation. Modular design of MARS with both Acoustic and Magnetic separation technology allows flexible configurations to meet versatile workflows for rare cell analysis, immune cell profiling, and cell therapy, with capabilities including target cell enrichment, cell purification, and cell concentration.
The integrated sample prep and magnetic separation modules enables cell wash, concentration, and separation in one, fully automated workflow. The system offers high cell recovery, which means fewer days for cell expansion, shortening the vein-to-vein time. The matrix-free magnetic column reduces dead volume and trappage while the gentle processing of cells reduces exhaustion.
MARS Technology & Platforms
MARS Technology
The innovative MARS platform, short-named after “Multi-physics Automated Reconfigurable Separation”, is ideal for high-throughput, high-efficiency, high-recovery, automated cell separation and sample preparation. Modular design of MARS allows flexible configurations with both Acoustic and Magnetic separation technology to meet versatile workflows.
MARS Acoustics
MARS active-microfluidics acoustics allow for label-free immune cells separation from lysed cell debris, dead cells, and other small particles. The acoustic force within MARS® CPC (Cell Processing Chip) separates particles with high speed based on differences in their physical parameters (size, etc.). The CPC is tunable to preferably enrich desired cells. Isolated cells are ready for single-cell phenotypic and genomic analysis as well as expansion
MARS Magnetic Separation
MARS immuno-magnetic separation modules separate cells bound to magnetic beads from cells unbound to magnetic beads
in flow channels, without the need for dedicated columns. No matrix means that the dead volume is reduced, and a
minimal number of cells are trapped in the system, leading to unprecedented recovery.
Built-in release cycle programmed to cyclically release cells bound to magnetic beads to the positive fraction
offers an unlimited cell capacity and prevents clogging.
