anti-hu CD138 pluriBeads

PluriBead is a unique and robust non-magnetic separation technology for cells, proteins, and other targets from nearly all biological fluids. The procedure is simple: You sieve your pluriBeads bound to target cells through a strainer - the pluriBeads with your target cells stay on top, the unwanted cells pass through the strainer. Then gentle detachment of your cells with a buffer is all you do, the target cells are ready to use! PluriBeads are coated with an antibody against a specific target marker. Use the pluriBeads for positive selection or negative depletion of a cell population. Bead Size: S Volume: 2 ml Target Marker: CD138 protein, in humans, is encoded by the SDC1 gene. CD138 is a heparin sulfate proteoglycan is a membrane protein that participates in cell proliferation, cell migration, and cell-matrix interactions.
