What is cell expansion and isolation with Dynabeads?

Cell expansion is the growth of viable, functional cells. Cells are often isolated and expanded so specific pure cell populations can be studied. The gentle Dynabeads tube-based cell separation is the technology of choice when you need high yields of pure, viable and functional cells. Combine with our cellular analysis products to easily isolate and characterize any cell type.

State-of-the-art Dynabeads activation and expansion technology mimics in vivoT cell activation available for human & mouse basic research as well as clinical research settings.

How do cells expand?

Cells receive external stimuli, such as the binding of specific ligands to cell surface receptors, which triggers intracellular signaling pathways and eventually leads to functional changes within the cell- either growth or maturation.


Cell isolation

Cell isolation, also commonly referred to as cell separation or cell sorting, can be achieved using magnetic beads to target cells for selection or depletion by using ligands or antibodies directed against specific cell surface antigens. Dynabeads cell isolation can be used with mouse cells, human cells, or cells from other species.
Dynabeads and MagniSort beads enable positive isolation, negative isolation, and cell depletion.


Cell activation & expansion

Physiological and highly reproducible T cell activation and expansion of human and mouse cells. For basic research and pre-clinical application of cell expansion and activation.

What causes cell expansion?

The presence of specific ligands or antibodies causes cell expansion.
