Bracco and Aenitis Innovate with Acoustic Microspheres for Cell Sorting

In an exciting development for the life sciences field, Bracco Imaging and Aenitis Technologies have joined forces to pioneer “acoustic microspheres” for cell sorting. This collaboration combines Bracco’s expertise in functionalised microsystems with Aenitis’ acoustophoresis technology, set to revolutionise the processing of rare and complex cells, potentially transforming biomanufacturing and advanced therapies.

The partnership targets a crucial sector in cell therapy and biomanufacturing, focused on overcoming the limitations of conventional magnetic bead sorting methods. Current techniques face challenges such as high costs, inefficiency, and scalability issues. Acoustic microspheres provide a groundbreaking alternative by offering unmatched biocompatibility, scalability, and cost-effectiveness. Acoustophoresis technology minimises cell damage and enables large-scale, faster sorting in continuous flow processes, enhancing the viability of sensitive cell populations.

This collaboration underscores a significant shift in cell sorting technology, with acoustic microspheres promising efficient and safer alternatives to established methods. As the demand for advanced therapeutic processes grows, this partnership between Bracco and Aenitis positions them at the forefront of technological innovation, aiming to make advanced therapies more accessible globally.
