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.
