Customized Cell Separation Kits
Solutions to Fit Your Unique Needs
Are you trying to isolate a very specific or rare cell type and can’t find a readily available kit? Or are you looking to modify an existing kit? We can help you create your own custom cell separation kit or you can combine your own antibody with our EasySep™ indirect kits.
Leverage our more than 20 years of cell separation expertise, extensive range of antibodies, and variety of cell isolation methods to create tailor-made products to isolate your cell type of interest.
Below are some examples of tissues and sample types our custom cell separation cocktails have been used for:
- Non-human primate peripheral blood
- Human diseased samples
- Rat tissue
- Mouse tissue
- Rabbit tissue
- Salivary gland tissue
Create Your Customized Cell Separation Kit
Choose one of the following options to create your custom cell separation kit:
Design Your Own Custom Kit
Choose your desired cell type or the cell surface antigens you would like to target. We’ll then create a kit that matches your specifications.
Customize Existing Kits
Modify the components, packaging, and/or labeling of standard STEMCELL cell isolation kits to fit your needs.
Use Your Own Antibody
Combine your own antibody with kits in the following options:
Use Your Own Labeled Antibody
Use your own conjugated antibodies with EasySep™ Release kits or EasySep Biotin, FITC, PE or APC selection kits to isolate your cell of interest.

Choosing the Best Selection Method and Platform
When creating custom products, we will assess the possible selection methods and platforms to find the best solution to meet your unique needs.
What Is the Best Selection Method?
The choice between negative and positive selection methods can depend on the required cell purity, recovery, and on your downstream application.
What Is the Most Suitable Cell Isolation Platform?
The most appropriate cell separation platform and technology will usually depend on the sample type and tissue you are isolating cells from.
