Patent number: 9757721Abstract: A method for washing a suspension of cells including a suspension fluid and a plurality of cells is provided. The method includes using centripetal force to generate a layer of wash solution against a cylindrical wall and to generate a cell suspension layer adjacent to the layer of wash solution. The method also includes forcing the cells through the layer of wash solution to generate a layer of clean cells. Devices for performing the method are also provided.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2015Date of Patent: September 12, 2017Assignee: Biomet Biologics, LLCInventors: Michael D.

Publication number: 20160325039Abstract: Disclosed is a device for separating a cellular component from a multicomponent fluid. The device can include a body, a first acoustic wave generator, and a second acoustic wave propagating component. The body can define a channel having a first surface, an opposing second surface, a first side, and an opposing second side. The channel can extend along a longitudinal axis from a first end to an opposing second end. The first acoustic wave generator can be coupled to the first surface. The second acoustic wave propagating component can be coupled to the second surface. The first acoustic wave generator and second acoustic wave propagating component can be configured to generate a bulk standing acoustic wave in the channel.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 22, 2016Publication date: November 10, 2016Inventors: Michael D. Leach, Ned M. Hamman, David Abeskaron, Grant Cunningham, Randel Dorian, Richard Wood Storrs, Scott R. King

Publication number: 20160287778Abstract: Devices for washing a composition including cells are provided. The devices include a separation channel, a first wave component and a second wave component. The separation channel is positioned between the first and second wave components. Collectively, the wave components generate a standing bulk acoustic wave that isolates cells from the composition.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 31, 2015Publication date: October 6, 2016Inventors: Michael D. LEACH, Ned M. HAMMAN, David ABESKARON, Grant D. CUNNINGHAM, Randel DORIAN, Richard W. STORRS, Scott R. KING

Patent number: 8950586Abstract: A platelet collection device comprising a centrifugal spin-separator container with a cavity having a longitudinal inner surface. A float in the cavity has a base, a platelet collection surface above the base, an outer surface. The float density is below the density of erythrocytes and above the density of plasma. The platelet collection surface has a position on the float which places it below the level of platelets when the float is suspended in separated blood. During centrifugation, a layer of platelets or buffy coat collects closely adjacent the platelet collection surface. Movement of a float having a density greater than whole blood through the sedimenting erythrocytes releases entrapped platelets, increasing the platelet yield.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2013Date of Patent: February 10, 2015Assignee: Hanuman LLCInventors: Randel Dorian, Richard W. Storrs, Scott R. King

Patent number: 5015476Abstract: Antigenic parasites are encapsulated in semipermeable polymeric envelope membranes to prepare implant capsules for immunizing an animal against parasitic infection. An animal may be immunized against parasitic infection by implanting into the animal the implant capsule at a location in the animal sufficient to stimulate a protective immune response in the animal to the parasite antigen.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 1989Date of Patent: May 14, 1991Assignee: Paravax, Inc.Inventors: Kent C.
