"Mars cell" refers to a component within the Applied Cells' MARS platform, which stands for "Multi-physics Automated Reconfigurable Separation". This platform is designed for automated cell separation and sample preparation. Therefore, a Mars cell is related to this separation and preparation process within the MARS platform.
Understanding the MARS Platform
The MARS platform offers:
- High-throughput: Processes a large number of cells quickly.
- High-efficiency: Separates cells effectively.
- High-recovery: Recovers a large proportion of the target cells.
- Automation: Reduces manual steps in cell separation.
Function of Mars Cell within the MARS platform
Because MARS stands for "Multi-physics Automated Reconfigurable Separation”, the term "Mars cell" likely refers to the physical cell being analyzed or processed by the MARS platform. The platform likely utilizes microfluidics or a similar technology to manipulate and separate individual cells based on their physical properties, such as size, shape, or density. In this process, the "Mars cell" is any cell undergoing this automated separation process.
