  • Automated apparatus for pancreatic islet isolation and processing
    Patent number: 8030058
    Abstract: Advanced islet separation technology incorporates an automated method, automated control methodology, process control interface, and automated apparatus to separate (isolate) and process pancreatic islets in a tissue suspension in physiologic process solution, utilizing microprocessor control and/or microprocessor computer control and software programming (code) to interface and control the process temperature, fluid flow rate, pH, dissolved oxygen concentration, endotoxin concentration, dissolved nitric oxide concentration, nitric oxide synthase activity, proteolytic enzyme activity, and/or pressure of the islet containing physiologic process solution, the extent of islet separation, including real-time data acquisition and recording of process variables.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 3, 2006
    Date of Patent: October 4, 2011
    Inventors: Daniel J. Benedict, Lorna S. Mosse
  • Method of islet isolation using process control
    Patent number: 7045349
    Abstract: Advanced Islet Separation Technology incorporates an automated method, automated control methodology, process control interface, and automated apparatus to separate (isolate) and process pancreatic islets in a tissue suspension in physiologic process solution, utilizing microprocessor controllers and computer control and software programming to interface and control the process temperature, process flowrate, percent hydrogen concentration, dissolved oxygen concentration, endotoxin concentration, dissolved nitric oxide concentration, nitric oxide synthase concentration, proteolytic enzyme activity, and pressure of the islet containing physiologic process solution, including real-time process data acquisition and recording of the process variables.
