  • Patent number: 11667879
    Abstract: A dynamic incubator system and method for mammalian cells. The dynamic incubator system includes an incubator and a programming device communicatively coupled to the incubator. The programming device includes a memory, one or more processors, a display, and an input mechanism. The programming device is adapted to enable at least one preset temperature and gas concentration sequence to be one or more of designed for the interior of the incubator, saved to the memory of the programming device and/or selected for implementation within the interior of the incubator. The at least one temperature and gas concentration sequence includes programmed changes to the temperature and a CO2 gas concentration. A purging mechanism is coupled to the incubator and releases a portion of a gas concentration to enable rapid changes in the temperature and gas concentration in the incubator.

  • Patent number: 11660271
    Abstract: A system and method of isolating extracellular vesicles. The method includes loading one or more of blood or bone marrow into an input port of a concentration system and centrifuging one or more of the blood or bone marrow to separate one or more of red blood cells, platelet poor plasma, or platelet rich plasma/bone marrow concentrate fractions via a centrifuge device. The method further includes pumping one or more of bone marrow/platelet rich plasma fractions and platelet poor plasma fractions into a receptacle of the concentration system and adding a concentrated aqueous two-phase solution to one or more of the bone marrow concentrate/platelet rich plasma fractions and platelet poor plasma fractions.

  • Publication number: 20230060145
    Abstract: A centrifugal device includes a container having a body with a first end and a second end disposed opposite to the first end. A cap is coupled to the second end of the container, and the cap includes a top surface having at least one port configured to receive or transmit one or more of air or fluid. So configured, the container is moveable between an upright position, in which a first fluid disposed in the container is centrifuged to precipitate at least one extracellular vesicle separate from the first fluid, and an inverted position in which one or more of the first fluid having at least one extracellular vesicle depleted therefrom is removed from the container and a second fluid mixed with the at least one extracellular vesicle removed is withdrawn from the container for injection.

  • Publication number: 20210196248
    Abstract: A device and method for aspirating bone barrow. The device includes a double syringe assembly having a distal syringe and a proximal syringe coupled to the distal syringe. A plunger includes a distal end disposed within a barrel of the distal syringe and a proximal end disposed within a barrel of the proximal syringe. A needle assembly is coupled to the double syringe assembly and includes a needle having an outer tube and an inner tube disposed within the outer tube. Upon actuation of the plunger, the distal syringe aspirates bone marrow through the outer tube of the needle and into a chamber of the distal syringe. At the same time, the proximal syringe injects fluid through the inner tube of the needle at the same rate in which the bone marrow is aspirated.
