  • Patent number: 12383893
    Abstract: A system for buoyant separation includes a separation container. Additionally or alternatively, the system can include an automated instrument, one or more processing components, and/or any other components. A method for buoyant separation can include any or all of: manipulating the separation container; adding materials to the separation container; removing materials form the separation container; otherwise processing the separation container; and/or any other processes.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20250093353
    Abstract: A system for buoyant-particle-assisted cell therapy includes and/or interfaces with a set of buoyant particles. Additionally or alternatively, the system can include and/or interface with a processing container, a set of processing materials (e.g., buffers, factors, solutions, etc.), and/or any other components. A method for buoyant-particle-assisted cell therapy includes processing the set of cells of interest. Additionally or alternatively, the method can include any or all of: preparing a set of buoyant particles; receiving a sample; and isolating a set of cells of interest from the sample.

  • Publication number: 20240402150
    Abstract: A system for partially or fully automated, buoyancy-assisted separation includes and/or interfaces with an automated instrument. Additionally or alternatively, the system can include and/or interface with any or all of: a set of buoyant particles, a set of containers (individually and/or collectively equivalently referred to herein as a consumable), a 1st container management subsystem, a 2nd container management subsystem, a user interface subsystem, and/or any other components. A method for partially or fully automated, buoyancy-assisted separation includes manipulating the set of containers and/or processing the set of materials at a 1st container management subsystem; and manipulating the set of containers and/or processing the set of materials at a 2nd container management subsystem.
