Cell Sorting & Separation
pluriStrainer® Cell Strainers
pluriSelect® offers a large variety of cell strainers serving nearly every need.
pluriStrainer® are one of the best cell strainers on the market with many additional features, missed in most comparable basic cell strainers.
pluriStrainer® Mini are the most flexible small cell strainer fitting in nearly any reaction tube (15 ml to 1.5ml, 24 / 48 well plates).
The multi-purpose ÜberStrainer completes the broad spectrum of cell strainer.
pluriBead
pluriBead® offers a robust cell isolation technology for targets from different biological fluids.
Fast target isolation using pluriBead
Our cell separation technology uses non-magnetic pluriBeads.
Our cell separation method consists of four essential steps.
You need a pure cell or protein population for your experiments?
You like to get your targets fast and want a fuss-free isolation system?
- Non-magnetic
- No sample preparation
- No centrifugation
- pluriBeads cannot be taken up by granulocytes
- pluriBeads can be easily and completely detached from the targets
- pluriBeads work in larger sample volumes, e.g. 45ml whole blood or buffy coat
- Purity >95%, viability >95%
- Working at room temperature or 37°C reduces cell stress
Application examples for your lab
- Single Target Cell Isolation
- Simultaneous Isolation of several specific cell types
- RNA Isolation
- DNA Isolation
- Protein Isolation
- Cell Activation
- Cell Depletion
- ELISA
- Immunoprecipitation

Bead size and surface modification
pluriBead® is using non-magnetic monodisperse microparticles for the sorting of cell mixtures. The surface of the beads is modified with antibodies that recognize specific structures on the cell surface. The beads are larger than the cells and enlarge these artificially. The enlargement by the cells allows a simple separation through sieves and the use of different separation strategies.
During incubation, the cells in suspension are marked with the help of the particles. The targets bonded to the surface of the catcher particles are then separated from all unbound cells through our sieving system. Finally, the target cells are gently detached from the catcher particles with a detachment buffer.
The size of pluriBead® allows easy and rapid separation of cells from whole blood or buffy coat. Pretreatment of blood and blood components, such as the production of a mononuclear cell fraction, is not required, ie, PBMC ( peripheral blood mononuclear cells)made by a density gradient / density centrifugation or other methods of depletion of erythrocytes (e.g. erythrolysis) or target concentration is not required. Moreover, the particle size prevents uptake by endocytosis. The microbeads are available in various sizes and surface modifications.

Nanoparticles
NanoVex Biotechnologies designs, develops and produces two main types of nanomaterials: nanovesicles and metallic nanoparticles
Sample Storage - SAFE “Store Aliquots For Ever”
SAFETM “Store Aliquot Samples For Ever”. SamplosophyTM storage tubes designed for long term care of biological materials, including human biospecimens, animal biospecimens, cells cultures, bacterial cultures, and even environmental samples.
High Content Cell Based Assays
Label-free measurements by cellasys microphysiometric systems monitor different parameters directly from living cells. These parameters include extracellular acidification (pH), cellular respiration (pO2) and morphology (impedance).
The measurement is label-free, parallel, continuous and in real-time. With our BioChip technology you can e.g. determine the efficiacy of a drug outside of humans (or animals) directly on living cells.
3D Cell Culture Tools
3D cell culture simulates the in-vivo like growth environment, promoting expansion of cells while greatly reducing loss of phenotype, compared to traditional plastic flat surface 2D cell culture.
Exosomes & Cell Biology
Exosomes are cell-derived vesicles that are present in many biological fluids, including serum, blood, urine, and cultured medium of cell cultures.
Crosslinkers
Crosslinkers for the preparation of bioconjugates used in immunoassays and for probing protein-protein interactions by mass spectrometry, as well as other creative Crosslinking methodologies
WESTAR is Cyanagen’s patented product line dedicated to Western Blotting
Bioreactor Systems
Cellexus develop and manufacture the CellMaker range of revolutionary single-use, airlift bioreactor technology.
Our single-use bioreactor range offers a faster route to market.
Every bioreactor is built in-house by our team of engineers. They understand every aspect of the product, so that you get the most from our technology. If you have a bespoke need, our expert team are on hand to work with you to find a custom solution.
