Pros Cons
Generates highly pure mitochondria Not suited for large amounts of mitochondrial preparation
Less time-intensive compared to other methods for preparation of highly purified mitochondria
Mitochondria are released from magnetic beads
Does not require large amount of starting materials
Does not require ultracentrifugation
More cost-effective than commercially-available magnetic bead purification kits
