Sample Preparation System for In Vitro Diagnostics

By HospiMedica staff writers
Posted on 23 Oct 2002
A new sample preparation system automates certain steps and is designed to offer superior reproducibility over traditional manual sample preparation methods. More...
The system has been cleared by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Called CellPrep, the system is a general-purpose laboratory instrument used with immuno-magnetic reagents that capture and enrich target cells and with labeling reagents that differentiate cells from whole blood. Cell analyzers, flow cytometers or microscopes may be used for cell identification and enumeration. For in vitro diagnostic use, the system was developed by Immunicon Corp. (Huntingdon Valley, PA, USA). The company has developed a diagnostic platform based on immuno-magnetic selection and fluorescent characterization of rare cells in blood, and is focused on cell-based and molecular products for the diagnosis, staging, and monitoring of cancer.

"The CellPrep sample preparation system is an important component in Immunicon's overall platform strategy. Sample preparation involving blood and other bodily fluids is an important element of many life science research and diagnostic applications,” said Edward L. Erickson, chairman, president, and CEO of Immunicon.
