  • Particle or cell analyzer and method
    Patent number: 8524489
    Abstract: A particle analyzer in which tagged particles to be analyzed are drawn through a suspended capillary tube where a predetermined volume in the capillary tube is illuminated. The illumination scattered by said particles is detected by a detector to count all particles. The fluorescent illumination emitted by tagged particles is detected and the output signals from the fluorescent detectors and scatter detector are processed to provide an analysis of the particles.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 31, 2011
    Date of Patent: September 3, 2013
    Assignee: EMD Millipore Corporation
    Inventors: Philippe J. Goix, Paul J. Lingane, Janette T. Phi-Wilson, Kenneth F. Uffenheimer

  • Cell separation system
    Publication number: 20030049836
    Abstract: A cell separation composition and system is described. The composition includes a linker that is able to permeate the cell membranes. The linker has one end coupled to an intracellular marker that binds to molecules in target cells and an extracellular component bond to the other end and used to separate the target cells in a cell mixture.

  • Coating agents for cell recovery
    Patent number: 5324629
    Abstract: A method for improving recovery of cells from liquid suspension by centrifugation. The method comprises coating the interior of centrifuge containers with a solution comprising an amphipathic compound prior to introduction of the cell suspension and centrifugation. The method is particularly suited for recovery or concentration of rare cells from dilute suspensions, for example when rare cells are isolated from a sample by sorting on a flow cytometer.
