Labcyte Granted Patent for Acoustic Transfer of Living Cells and Solid Particles
Dr. Elaine J. Heron, Chief Executive Officer of Labcyte Inc., said, "This technique is extraordinarily gentle to cells. Unlike pipette-based transfers that subject cells to considerable shear forces, cells transferred by acoustic techniques are stress free. In addition to transferring cells, the patent describes an integrated instrument and a method for the efficient and continuous sorting of cells based upon quantitative cellular properties. This continues our expansion in the application of acoustics in the life sciences."
