Cell isolation, also known as cell separation or sorting, is the process of separating individual cells or specific cell populations from a heterogeneous mixture or a solid tissue. This technique is crucial for research, as it allows scientists to reduce experimental complexity, isolate cells for specific analysis, and manipulate cells for various applications. BioCat's cell isolation kits from our partner Elabscience utilize a negative selection technique of magnetic cell sorting where different biotinylated monoclonal antibodies are used to label non target cells, which are subsequently removed by streptavidin-labelled magnetic beads.
