AcouSort AB ("AcouSort") and Bio-ReCell Ltd ("Bio-ReCell") announce that the two companies have signed a Letter of Intent to jointly explore developing a system for automated clean-up and isolation of stem cells and immune cells from adipose tissue. The core technology in the new system will be based on AcouSort's unique acoustofluidic expertise and Bio-Recell's efficient digestion and isolation capabilities.
The first step of the collaboration was a very successful initial trial at AcouSort's facility in Lund where the applicability of AcouSort's acoustic separation technology was tested on output from Bio-Recell's Revive system.
AcouSort and Bio-ReCell share a common interest in providing the healthcare market with innovative solutions improving the efficacy of development and production of advanced therapies leading to better patient outcome upon treatment. Whereas Bio-ReCell's technology is capable of efficient isolation of a wide range of cell types from complex mixtures, such as adipose tissue, AcouSort's technology enables purification and up-concentration of cells from these bio-samples or tissue cultures. The two companies will now move forward to optimize and adopt AcouSort's separation technology to accommodate Bio-ReCell's specific requirements.
"Collaboration is at the very heart of AcouSort, and it is with great joy we enter into this promising and very exciting partnership. AcouSort and Bio-ReCell share the same vision and deep desire to develop and provide innovative and effective solutions that further improve patient outcomes," says Torsten Freltoft, AcouSort CEO.
"Advancing technological excellence requires the synergy of compatible and forward-thinking partners. When these partners are industry leaders, success becomes even more attainable. Our collaboration with AcouSort exemplifies this principle, as we combine our expertise to drive innovation in cell therapy. Together, we are committed to revolutionizing the field by leveraging our joint competencies to push the boundaries of what's possible." says Dr. Luka Fajs, Bio-ReCell's CEO.
