Introduction
1.1 General information
The CliniMACS System offers a set of tools that enables high-quality
standardized cell processing for different applications. The CliniMACS System is
based on the high-quality standardized cell processing and the magnetic cell
separation technology (MACS® Technology) developed by Miltenyi Biotec.
The CliniMACS Formulation Unit is an instrument accessory for the final
formulation and sampling of eukaryotic cells in combination with the CliniMACS
Prodigy. The CliniMACS Formulation Unit enables the user to take cell samples
during or after processing by the CliniMACS Prodigy.
The CliniMACS Formulation Unit is intended to be used in combination with the
following components only: CliniMACS Prodigy, CliniMACS Reagents, CliniMACS
Prodigy Tubing Sets, and the CliniMACS PBS/EDTA Buffer.
The different applications related with the CliniMACS Formulation Unit require
the use of specific CliniMACS Materials as well as additional materials and
equipment as described in this manual and in the CliniMACS Prodigy User
Manual issued for the respective application (see also section 5.1).
