HANDLING OF CELLS AND EXTRACELLULAR VESICLES The AcouTrap is a benchtop research instrument for sample preparation of cells, extracellular vesicles, bacteria and viruses from a range of different media. The bioparticles are captured in an acoustic trap using gentle sound waves that keep the particles intact. The system is excellent for enrichment and purification such as staining and antibody labeling. Mixing is enhanced by the acoustic streaming in the AcouTrap, thereby shortening incubation times. The AcouTrap platform operates on standard 96-well microplates or microcentrifuge tubes. The system is automated and rapid, generating output samples with high quality, high throughput and high cell viability. The trapping unit is available in two different designs, optimized for handling small to medium Automated sample processing Trapping unit Cell recovery > 90% with maintained viability Liveviewing for process monitoring Flow rate (uL/min) Compact benchtop design Cell viability (%)** * MeasJred with cultured Jur
Open the catalog to page 1The central part of the system is an acoustic trapping unit where standing waves are used to trap and hold particles, cells or vesicles against a fluid flow. The acoustic forces can hold cells or polymer microbeads at sizes down to a few micrometers. For smaller particles, e.g. bacteria, extracellular vesicles or nanoparticles, larger polymer seed particles are initially trapped (A) and smaller objects are drawn to these particles by secondary acoustic forces (B). When the ultrasound is turned off (C) and the sample is ejected, and the particles dissociate (D). A TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS...
