Specifications for Miltenyi Biotec gentleMACS Octo Dissociator with Heaters for Arkansas Children’s Nutrition Center, Little Rock, AR A benchtop instrument for the fully automated and standardized tissue dissociation or homogenization of up to eight samples. It allows for the dissociation of tissues to create single cell suspension for downstream molecular analyses (i.e. flow cytometry, scRNA-seq). Machine can be used to analyze samples from both animal and human. gentleMACS Octo Dissociator with Heaters System: General Specifications Size: 465x285x185 mm (Length x Width x Height) Weight: 11 kg Power consumption: max. 450 W Supply voltage: 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz Fuse: 2xT3.15AH250V Rotational Speed: 20-4,000 rpm Rotational direction: Clockwise or counter-clockwise Rotational acceleration: 100r/s² Torque: max: 150 mNm; Overload restriction over the range of 200-4,000 rpm Maximum number of programs: 500 Number of heatable positions 8 Features: -Stand-alone benchtop instrument with touchscreen. -Designed for the dissociation of various tissues to obtain single-cell suspensions or homogenize tissues in a closed system. -Sample preparation is in a closed and sterile system, providing a high level of user safety and minimize cross-contamination. -Single-cell suspensions or thorough homogenates are easily and reproducibly obtained. -Equipped with eight individual heating units and all eight positions can be operated independently. -Bears a unique patented rotor/stator system for the gentle and efficient tissue dissociation or homogenization - Offers fully automated workflow for tissue dissociation. - Offers programs that are specifically developed for the dissociation of different tissues, as well as for tissue homogenization to isolate DNA, RNA, nuclei or proteins. -Instrument allows creation and use of user-defined programs for specific applications.
