Can I process samples enriched via MACS or FACS?

  • Updated

Magnetic-activated cell sorting (MACS)

Cells enriched with magnetic beads < 2 µm in size are compatible with the Tapestri workflow.

If magnetic beads are larger than 2 µm, such as dyna beads, only negatively selected cells are supported with the Tapestri workflow.

We have not validated the DNA/protein workflow with MACS cells.

Fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS)

DNA-only workflow
FACS-enriched cells may be processed on the Tapestri Instrument.

DNA/protein workflow
FACS-enriched cells may be processed on the Tapestri Instrument. However, when sorting cells with an antibody that is part of the antibody-oligo conjugate (AOC) panel, ensure that the epitope and clone are distinct.
