Levitation Technology
A revolutionary workflow in its simplicity, speed, and reproducibility
The LeviCell® platform offers a revolutionary workflow in its simplicity, speed, and reproducibility. Unlike traditional cell enrichment methods, the system requires only 3 hands-on steps and less than 20 min from start to finish.
Levitation Technology is the first truly novel approach to cellular analysis in 30 years. Extensive research has shown that cells of different types or states have unique physical signatures, levitating in predictable ways when they encounter a magnetic density field. Here’s how it works.
WORKFLOW
STEP 1
Sample introduction
Prepare the sample by adding the Levitation Agent, a paramagnetic solution. After inserting the cartridge into the system, dispense the sample into the inlet well.

STEP 2
Separation channel levitation
The system automatically loads the sample into the separation channel while the sample is imaged and levitated. The system performs automated, label-free enrichment plus debris removal via levitation.
STEP 3
Sample collection
Once the cells have levitated to their final equilibrium position, a live view in the software enables the user to define how the sample will be divided (fraction of interest and waste). Separated fractions are collected into the cartridge outlet wells.
INSIDE LOOK
Levitation inside the separation channel
The different cell types equilibrate at different levitation heights. As the sample flows through the system, different cell types are analyzed and collected.
