  • Methods and Devices for Producing Cellular Suspensions from Tissue Samples
    Publication number: 20210096046
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure include methods of producing a cellular suspension from a tissue sample by applying resonant acoustic energy to a container comprising the tissue sample in a manner sufficient to produce a cellular suspension from the tissue sample. Resonant acoustic mixers and kits for use in producing a cellular suspension from a tissue sample are also provided.

  • METHODS OF EVALUATING A CELLULAR SAMPLE FOR HER-2/NEU EXPRESSION AND COMPOSITIONS FOR PRACTICING THE SAME
    Publication number: 20190086319
    Abstract: Methods of evaluating a cellular sample for HER-2/neu expression are provided. Aspects of the methods include flow cytometrically obtaining fluorescence emission data from a cellular sample fluorescently labelled HER-2/neu specific binding member and employing the sample fluorescence emission data with standard fluorescence emission data to obtain a value of fluorescently labelled HER-2/neu specific binding members bound per cell.
