Density gradient separation methods (Boyum, 1968, 1977) are used when purification of cell populations is required rather than simple removal of erythroid contaminants. Density-gradient separation techniques will not yield as many cells as the simple lysis methods, but they have other distinct advantages.
Thus, cell separation and isolation methods are used virtually in all major fields of modern biology. Challenges of Cell Separation Methods. Cell separation techniques face a high noise-to-signal ratio, with a small …
Methods of Cell Separation brings to the attention of researchers at all levels the variety of methods available for separating viable populations of cells. Methods are grouped into 3 categories based on the criteria of separation, namely; size or density; non-specific surface properties; and specific surface properties.
