Magnetic isolation is a promising method for separating and concentrating pancreatic islets
of Langerhans for transplantation in Type 1 diabetes patients. We are developing a …

Quadrupole magnetic flow sorting (QMS) is being adapted from the separation of
suspensions of single cells (< 15μm) to the isolation of pancreatic islets (150–350μm) for …

Islet transplantation is emerging as a treatment option for selected patients with type 1
diabetes. Inconsistent isolation, purification, and recovery of large numbers of high-quality …

Islet transplantation (ITx) is an emerging and promising therapy for patients with
uncontrolled type 1 diabetes. The islet isolation and purification processes require exposure …

We have shown the potential of a new method for optimizing the separation of human stem
cell subsets from peripheral blood based on a novel cell labeling technique that leverages …

A new microchannel-based system for continuous separation of magnetizable particles is
presented, with possible applications in cell and particle separation, immunoassays …

Islets were selectively isolated from rat pancreatic digests using magnetic microspheres
coated with anti‐islet monoclonal antibodies. The isolation process was optimized as a …

Purification of islets based on the physical differences in density between exocrine and islet
tissue reduces islet yields and remains one of the factors limiting islet transplantation …

Magnetic cell sorting is gaining in popularity as a method to separate and recover viable
cells which differ in functionality, but not in physical characteristics. We are developing a …

Quantitative characterization of magnetic particles is useful for analysis and separation of
labeled cells and magnetic particles. A particle velocimeter is used to directly measure the …
