Human T Cell Sorting Kit

Column-Free Negative Human

Cell Sorts™ Human T Cell Sorting Kit (CS-0014) enriches an untouched pan T-cell fraction from prepared human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) by column-free negative selection. A human T-cell negative-selection antibody cocktail and matching magnetic beads label non-target nucleated cells for magnetic retention; the unretained CD3+ T-cell-enriched suspension is recovered by controlled pour-off.

For 1×10⁷ starting cells, the documented core workflow uses 10 µL antibody cocktail for 5 minutes at room temperature, 8 µL magnetic beads for 5 minutes, and a 3-minute magnetic hold after adding 2 mL separation buffer. One representative CD3-FITC result increased the monitored CD3+ fraction from 53.6% before separation to 96.8% afterward; this is not a guaranteed specification. Confirm identity, purity, viability, recovery, and functional suitability for every donor and downstream assay. For research use only.

Product Features of the Human T Cell Sorting Kit

CS-0014 uses a documented column-free negative-selection workflow to enrich an untouched human pan T-cell fraction from prepared PBMCs using 5-minute antibody labeling, 5-minute bead binding, and a 3-minute magnetic hold.

Column-free negative selection - Non-target nucleated cells are antibody- and bead-labeled for magnetic retention without a separation column
Untouched target fraction - The unretained CD3+ T-cell-enriched suspension is recovered by controlled pour-off rather than direct positive labeling
Defined room-temperature core steps - The documented method uses 5 minutes for antibody labeling, 5 minutes for bead binding, and 3 minutes on the magnet
Scale-defined for 1×10⁷ cells - Use 10 µL antibody cocktail, 8 µL magnetic beads, and 2 mL separation buffer; follow the current instructions when scaling
Flexible PBMC preparation - Guidance covers density-gradient peripheral-blood PBMCs, leukopak material, and DNase I handling for frozen PBMCs
Evidence-qualified performance - One representative CD3-FITC example increased from 53.6% to 96.8%; results are sample- and workflow-dependent

The Human T Cell Sorting Kit uses column-free negative selection to isolate untouched Untouched Human Pan T Cells (CD3+ Enriched Fraction) from human PBMCs. Review the product-specific four-stage workflow below. The stated sorting time of Approximately 13 min listed core steps after PBMC preparation covers the specified timed stages only; sample preparation, handling, optional collection, and quality control require additional time. Follow the current product instructions and validate each preparation before downstream use.

How the Human T Cell Sorting Kit Works

Four stages summarizing the documented PBMC pan T-cell negative-selection workflow

1
CS-0014 workflow step 1: prepare and count human PBMCs in pre-chilled separation buffer

Step 1: Prepare and Count PBMCs

Prepare human PBMCs from EDTA-anticoagulated peripheral blood or leukopak material, wash and filter, then resuspend in pre-chilled separation buffer at no more than 5×10⁷ cells/mL. Follow the documented DNase I procedure for frozen PBMCs.

2
CS-0014 workflow step 2: label non-target cells with 10 µL antibody cocktail for 5 minutes at room temperature

Step 2: Label Non-Target Cells

For 1×10⁷ prepared cells in a 5 mL tube, add 10 µL Human T Cell Negative Selection Antibody Cocktail, mix gently, and incubate for 5 minutes at room temperature.

3
CS-0014 workflow step 3: bind 8 µL magnetic beads for 5 minutes and add 2 mL separation buffer

Step 3: Bind Magnetic Beads

Add 8 µL thoroughly mixed magnetic beads, mix gently, incubate for 5 minutes at room temperature, then add 2 mL separation buffer and mix by pipetting.

4
CS-0014 workflow step 4: magnetically retain labeled cells for 3 minutes and pour off the pan T-cell-enriched fraction

Step 4: Capture and Recover Pan T Cells

Hold the tube in the specified compatible 5 mL magnetic separator for 3 minutes at room temperature, then lift and continuously invert the magnet, rack, and tube together to pour the untouched CD3+ T-cell-enriched suspension into a fresh tube.

Applications for the Human T Cell Sorting Kit

Potential downstream uses for the enriched untouched pan T-cell fraction are listed below. Confirm CD3+ identity, subset composition, purity, viability, recovery, and functional suitability under laboratory-specific conditions.

Flow Cytometric Quality Control - Assess CD3+ enrichment, viability, recovery, and residual populations with a laboratory-validated panel Pan T Cell Immunophenotyping - Characterize CD4+, CD8+, and other T-cell subsets after confirming post-sort identity and sample quality Activation and Proliferation Research - Use qualified pan T-cell preparations in controlled receptor-stimulation and expansion assays Cytokine Response Studies - Evaluate responses to defined stimuli after fit-for-purpose purity and viability checks Cell Culture and Process Development - Establish laboratory-validated culture, handling, and expansion workflows for research use Molecular and Single-Cell Profiling - Prepare DNA, RNA, protein, TCR-repertoire, or single-cell inputs when platform-specific acceptance criteria are met Gene-Editing and Transduction Feasibility Research - Evaluate research workflows without implying guaranteed editing, transduction, or functional outcomes Cell-Therapy Workflow Research - Support non-clinical process-development studies after assay-specific qualification; not for direct clinical use

The listed applications are potential research uses, not guaranteed performance claims. Confirm CD3+ identity, subset composition, purity, viability, recovery, and functional suitability under laboratory-specific conditions.

Click each question to expand the answer

CS-0014 enriches an untouched human pan T-cell fraction from prepared human PBMCs. The supplied representative quality-control example monitors CD3 expression by flow cytometry; the recovered fraction may contain multiple T-cell subsets, so laboratories should define their own post-sort identity panel.
The kit uses column-free negative selection. An antibody cocktail and magnetic beads label non-target nucleated cells for magnetic retention, while the unretained CD3+ T-cell-enriched suspension is recovered by controlled pour-off.
The supplied procedure covers density-gradient-prepared PBMCs from EDTA-anticoagulated peripheral blood and prepared leukopak material. For frozen PBMCs, it specifies room-temperature DNase I treatment at a final concentration of 100 µg/mL for at least 15 minutes, followed by washing, 37 µm filtration, counting, and resuspension at no more than 5×10⁷ cells/mL.
Place 1×10⁷ prepared cells in a 5 mL flow tube, add 10 µL Human T Cell Negative Selection Antibody Cocktail for 5 minutes at room temperature, then add 8 µL thoroughly mixed magnetic beads for a further 5 minutes. Add 2 mL separation buffer before magnetic separation.
The separation buffer is PBS at pH 7.2 containing 0.5% BSA and 2 mM EDTA. The procedure notes that HSA, human serum, or FBS may replace BSA and sodium citrate may replace EDTA. Keep cells cold, use pre-chilled buffer, work promptly, and perform the two listed labeling incubations at room temperature.
The listed quantities are for 1×10⁷ total cells. For fewer cells, the procedure instructs users to retain the 1×10⁷-cell reagent amounts; for more cells, scale reagent volumes proportionally. The documented capacity is up to 1×10⁹ total cells. Follow the current product instructions and validate mixing, tube, and magnet capacity at scale.
After adding 2 mL separation buffer and mixing by pipetting, place the 5 mL tube in the specified compatible magnetic separator for 3 minutes at room temperature. Lift the magnet and continuously invert the magnet, rack, and tube together to pour the T-cell-enriched suspension into a fresh tube without disturbing retained cells.
In one supplied CD3-FITC flow-cytometry example, the monitored CD3+ fraction increased from 53.6% before separation to 96.8% afterward. This is a representative result, not a guaranteed specification. Donor composition, PBMC preparation, cell condition, reagent handling, magnetic equipment, and gating strategy can affect the outcome.
The documented kit components are the Human T Cell Negative Selection Antibody Cocktail and Human T Cell Negative Selection Magnetic Beads. The laboratory must supply separation buffer, 5 mL flow tubes, a compatible magnetic separator, PBMC-preparation materials, counting equipment, and reagents for post-sort quality control.
Store the supplied components at 2-8°C and do not freeze; refer to the product label for expiry. CS-0014 is for research use only and is not intended for direct clinical therapy. Confirm identity, purity, viability, recovery, and functional suitability for every donor, preparation method, and downstream assay.
