VERFAHREN UND VORRICHTUNG ZUR SELEKTIVEN ENTFERNUNG VON ZELLEN AUS EINER ZELLSUSPENSION DURCH MECHANISCHE LYSE

摘要

In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides an apparatus and methods for selectively lysing cells from a cell suspension including disassociating a population of cells from a tissue sample, the population of cells including a population of one or more viable cells and a population of one or more dead and dying cells, exposing the population of cells to at least one pulse of fluid shear stress having a force along a conduit wall of from about 500 dyn/cm2 to about 2500 dyn/cm2 to substantially lyse the population of one or more dead or dying cells, leaving the population of one or more viable cells substantially intact, and collecting the population of one or more viable cells.
