AcouSort is an innovative technology company with a high focus on products and solutions for automated preparation of biological samples for researchers and healthcare applications. The core technology is acoustofluidics where a combination of microfluidics and sound waves is used to separate blood into its components, to isolate and purify cells and extracellular vesicles in order to perform rapid biochemical analyses.
AcouSort’s adaptable technology addresses a wide range of applications – from biomarker discovery in basic research to preparation of clinical blood samples prior to analysis. Today, many clinical blood tests require samples to be sent to a central laboratory for manual preparation steps before they are ready for analysis. AcouSort offers a unique and efficient solution for sample preparation, allowing the process to be automated and integrated into almost any analytical or diagnostic instrument. This paves the way for a new generation of clinical instruments where patient samples are analyzed at the point-of-care, delivering results immediately. This enables faster diagnosis allowing for quick medical interventions and optimal treatment that has the potential to drastically improve the therapeutic outcome for the patient. AcouSort’s core technology builds on 20 years of research and development at Lund University in the Department of Biomedical Engineering, headed by Professor Thomas Laurell, co-founder and board member of AcouSort.
