Product key features

  • Effective Dead Cell Removal: Enrich live cell populations by removing dead cells with high efficiency.
  • Versatile: Suitable for various sample types.
  • High Purity: Targeting and removal of apoptotic and necrotic cells.
  • Quick Protocol: Streamlined workflow with simple incubation steps and use of magnetic separation.

Product description

The ReadiPrep™ Dead Cell Removal Kit provides a fast and reliable method for enriching live cell populations by removing dead cells, including both apoptotic and necrotic cells, from your samples. This kit leverages Annexin V conjugation to specifically bind dead cells, followed by magnetic separation using magnetic spheres, ensuring that live cells are efficiently isolated from dead ones.

This kit is designed for ease of use with minimal hands-on time. The provided reagents and protocol can help to quickly obtain enriched live cell populations from a variety of sample types, such as cultured cells or tissue homogenates. The resulting live cell suspension is highly pure, making it ideal for downstream applications like flow cytometry, cell culture, or molecular analysis making it ideal for studies involving cell viability, apoptosis, or cellular responses to drug treatments.

Example protocol

AT A GLANCE

Protocol Summary
  1. Prepare cells in the Isolation Buffer (Component C).
  2. Add ReadiPrep™ Dead Cell (Annexin V) Conjugate (Component A).
  3. Incubate 10 min at RT.
  4. Add Magnetic Spheres (Component B).
  5. Incubate 10 min at RT.
  6. Place the tube in a magnetic rack.
  7. Wait for 2-3 min.
  8. Carefully collect the supernatant containing live cells.

SAMPLE EXPERIMENTAL PROTOCOL

For processing 1x10^7 Cells
  1. Prepare 1x10^7 cells in 500 µL Isolation Buffer (Component C). 
  2. Add 25 µL ReadiPrep™ Dead Cell (Annexin V) Conjugate (Component A) to the sample. Incubate for 10 min at RT.
  3. Centrifuge the cells.
  4. Resuspend cells in 500 μL Isolation Buffer (Component C). 
  5. Add 10 µL of Magnetic Spheres (Component B) to cell sample.
  6. Incubate for 10 min at RT. (The dead cells will bind to the Streptavidin Magnetic Spheres).
  7. Place the tube in the magnetic rack and incubate for 2 min. 
  8. Collect the cell suspension into a new tube (the supernatant containing live cells).
