AcouSort has entered into a formal collaboration with Dr Alfonso Blanco, Director of Flow Cytometry at Conway Institute, University College Dublin (UCD). Studying Extracellular Vesicles (EVs) with flow cytometry is increasingly popular and there is a massive interest in using the technique to further deepen the understanding of these intriguing nanoparticles. The collaboration involves the placement of an AcouTrap system in the UCD lab during the collaboration period
Dr Blanco is a prominent Key Opinion Leader (KOL) in the flow cytometry field, especially within the field of characterization of EVs using flow cytometry. The lab at the Conway Institute is very well equipped with a number of high-end flow cytometers.
AcouSort has previously visited Dr. Blanco’s laboratory demonstrating our AcouTrap system, and during this new collaboration, an AcouTrap system is placed at the facilities in Dublin to be used for EV sample preparation prior to flow cytometry analysis. The collaboration with the group at Conway Institute is an important step for AcouSort developing applications and generate new knowledge and independent data showing the benefits of using acoustic trapping as a tool for flow cytometry sample preparation.
“Collaborations with academia is a very important way to explore and establish new technology within the EV field and to gain further recognition of the benefits of using acoustic technology for simplifying and automating sample preparation,” says Agnes Michanek, Commercial Director at AcouSort.
