Invitrogen™ Dynabeads™ CD2

Invitrogen™ Dynabeads™ CD2

Dynabeads™ CD2 are magnetic beads that provide a robust and versatile tool to isolate or deplete human CD2⁺ cells directly from any sample, including whole blood, bone marrow, buffy coat, mononuclear cells (MNC), and tissue digests.

Excellent Yield, Purity, and Viability of Recovered Cells, Dynabeads™ CD2 are uniform, superparamagnetic beads (4.5 µm diameter) that enable easy isolation of human CD2+ cells directly from any sample. Dynabeads™ CD2 beads are coated with a primary monoclonal antibody specific for the CD2 membrane antigen mainly expressed on human T-cells and natural killer (NK) cells. Dynabeads™ CD2 bind to CD2⁺ cells during a short incubation period in a tube, after which the bead-bound cells are separated from unbound cells using a magnet. This fast and gentle isolation method does not require the use of columns, and helps ensure high purity, recovery and viability of the isolated CD2⁺ cells.

Ideal for Both Depletion and Positive Isolation for Downstream Molecular Assays, Because of the powerful magnets used for separation, Dynabeads™ CD2 can be used in viscous samples such as whole blood and bone marrow, thereby providing a convenient method for the efficient depletion of CD2⁺ cells in about 30 minutes. Dynabeads™ CD2 will also afford excellent recovery of high-purity, viable cells when used for positive isolation for downstream molecular studies; for example, those in which cells are to be lysed while still attached to beads, and nucleic acids or proteins further purified.

Features

• Rapid isolation of CD2⁺ cells from any sample – no columns required
• Positive isolation for molecular downstream assays or efficient depletion of CD2⁺ cells.
