  • PARTICLE SEPARATION SYSTEMS AND METHODS
    Publication number: 20230112068
    Abstract: Magnetic levitation particle separation systems and methods for use with multi-channel flow cells. The system may include a core for receiving and holding the flow cell, with upper and lower clamps for securing the flow cell and positioning it relative to an array of magnets. The system is configured to image particle separation in processing channels of the flow cell, and to regulate the flow cell's temperature. The core may be removable as a single unit, facilitating reconfiguration of the system.
