Handling of Cells and Extracellular Vesicles
The AcouTrap is a benchtop research instrument for sample preparation of cells, extracellular vesicles, bacteria and viruses from a range of different media.
The bioparticles are captured in an acoustic trap using gentle sound waves that keep the sample intact. The system is excellent for enrichment and purification as well as performing rapid reactions such as staining and antibody labelling. Binding is enhanced by the acoustic streaming in the AcouTrap, shortening incubation times.
The AcouTrap platform operates on a standard 96-well microplate format and can run up to 48 samples per plate. The system is automated and rapid, generating output samples with high quality.
