Optimizing Cell Separation with Beckman Coulter’s Centrifugal Elutriation System

In many applications of cell biology, separation of cells from a heterogenous population to an enriched population of specific target cells in necessary to address relevant scientific questions. Centrifugation is one of the most commonly used methods of cell separation, especially rate-zonal density gradient centrifugation, which relies on centrifugal force to sediment cells through a linear density gradient. This application note explores the use of Beckman Coulter’s Centrifugal Elutriation System in optimizing cell separation.
