Functionalized Magnetic Nanoparticles for the Detection and Quantitative Analysis of Cell Surface Antigen
Figure 2
Scheme of the magnetic bead-based cell separation. (a) A mixture of magnetically labeled and nonlabeled cells is applied on a separation column. (b) Specific cell selection using MACS columns. Magnetically labeled cells are retained in the magnetic field of the separation column; unlabeled cells pass through the column as negative fraction. (c) After removal of the column from the magnetic field, the desired cells are eluted as the enriched positive fraction.
