Abstract: A biological fluid filtration system for scanning a biological fluid so as to filter potentially undesirable constituents from the biological fluid for therapeutic or diagnostic purposes. The biological fluid filtration system generally includes a fluid receiving device adapted to receive a biological fluid. A valve including an inlet, a first outlet, and a second outlet is fluidly connected to the fluid receiving device. The biological fluid within the fluid receiving device is scanned by a scanner to produce scanned data relating to the biological fluid. A control unit in communication with the scanner and the valve receives the scanned data and controls the valve based on the scanned data. The valve is controlled to direct the biological fluid through either the first or second outlet of the valve depending upon the constituents of the biological fluid identified by the control unit.

Abstract: Provided herein are compositions and methods for engineering treatment resistant circulating tumor cells to generate immune stimulating or anti-cancer exosomes, which can be infused into a patient to self-home to the primary tumor and metastatic lesions. Also provided are compositions and methods for forming a population of engineered exosome-loaded dendritic cells, which can be infused into the patient to activate a systemic immune response. The compositions and methods allow for infiltration into solid tumors using “trojan” cells that are naturally adapted and mechanistically engineered to evade patients' defenses.

Abstract: The present embodiments relate to an apheretic system incorporating one or more centrifuge devices. A biological fluid containing cells (or another fluid) can be obtained and directed to a centrifuge device to separate particles by a particle size and/or a flow rate. The centrifuge device can include a center-axis centrifuge, an off-center centrifuge, and/or a hydro-cyclone centrifuge device. The separated particles can be directed/drawn into either an outlet to a return or into a collection container for further testing.

Abstract: Provided herein are techniques for label free cell sorting. The systems and methods provided herein may use machine learning based image classification techniques to identify cells of interest within a sample of cells. The cells of interest may then be separated from the sample using mechanical, pneumatic, piezoelectric, and/or electronic devices.
