  • DEVICES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS FOR EXTRACTING A MATERIAL FROM A MATERIAL SAMPLE
    Publication number: 20230375443
    Abstract: Devices, systems, and associated methods for selectively extracting a material from a sample are provided. In one aspect, for example, a method for selectively extracting biological material from a biological sample can include identifying a region of biological material to be extracted from a biological sample, applying an extraction tool to the region of biological material to disrupt biological material from the biological sample, and dispensing a liquid at the region of biological material. The method can also include aspirating the liquid and the disrupted biological material from the biological sample.
    Type: Application
    Filed: March 30, 2023
    Publication date: November 23, 2023
    Inventors: Nils B. Adey, Katherine B. Geiersbach, Mark Herrmann, Robert J. Parry

  • Devices, systems, and methods for extracting a material from a material sample
    Patent number: 10866170
    Abstract: Devices, systems, and associated methods for selectively extracting a material from a sample are provided. In one aspect, for example, a method for selectively extracting biological material from a biological sample can include identifying a region of biological material to be extracted from a biological sample disposed on a substantially planar surface, applying an extraction tool to the region of biological material to disrupt biological material from the biological sample, and dispensing a liquid at the region of biological material. The method can also include aspirating the liquid and the disrupted biological material from the biological sample.
    Type: Grant
