The first poster is presented by Dr Vera A Tang of University of Ottawa. During the spring of 2024, AcouSort has collaborated with Dr Tang and her team on the development of a new method for isolation of cells from dissociated tissue using the AcouWash. The poster describes how the AcouWash system is used to purify dissociated tissue samples and efficiently remove debris and dead cells from the target cells, something that is very difficult to do with other techniques. Dr Tang’s main conclusions are that sample preparation using the AcouWash system offers a low-cost, gentle, and effective way to ensure that downstream analysis is performed on high quality viable samples.

The second poster presents AcouSort’s in-house work on high throughput cell wash and show new data on efficient and gentle cell wash at flowrates up to 5 mL/minute combined with a 5x up-concentration. By using acoustic cell wash, contaminants can be efficiently removed from the cells in a one-step process while retaining more than 98% of the cells. Proliferation studies also show that the AcouWash technology is very gentle to the cells and that cell proliferation after acoustic processing is the same as for unprocessed samples. The results presented in the poster is a great example on how acoustic sorting can be rapid, efficient, and gentle to the cells, combining several sample preparation steps into one.

“Flow cytometry has become an area of great interest to AcouSort, and we are thrilled to present our technology at CYTO in Edinburgh. We are also very proud tohave been selected for two poster presentations. Dr Tang’s poster shows how seriously we take our collaboration with academia and how rapidly such collaboration can produce concrete results. The results presented in the second poster demonstrate the strength of our continued development and innovation efforts,” says Agnes Michanek, Commercial Director at AcouSort.
