Our Monocyte Attachment Medium allows for the efficient adherence selection of monocytes from freshly isolated human mononuclear cells while maintaining optimal cell health. Thus, the time-consuming and costly immunomagnetic purification of monocytes is dispensable prior to experiments requiring adherent monocytes as a starting material.
With properly performed washing steps (see Product Manual) large numbers of 80-90% pure monocytes can be obtained with our Monocyte Attachment Medium. Typical applications are generation of dendritic cells/macrophages as well as phagocytosis assays.
