AcouSort AB (publ) will exhibit and present at CYTO 2024 - demonstrating the benefits of acoustic sample preparation for flow cytometry applications. CYTO 2024, the 37th annual Congress of the International Society for the Advancement of Cytometry is an international conference on the many facets of cytometry science and engineering. In line with the company's focus on novel opportunities within cytometry, AcouSort will participate in the conference to present its innovative solutions for sample preparation and the vital role they can play to improve flow cytometry outcomes.

AcouSort has also been selected to present two posters highlighting the value of acoustofluidics sample preparation. The first poster is presented by Dr Vera A Tang of University of Ottawa. During the spring of 2024, AcouSort has collaborated with Dr Tang and her team on the development of a new method for isolation of cells from dissociation tissue using the AcouWash.

The poster describes how the AcouWash system is used to purify dissociation tissue samples and efficiently remove debris and dead cells from the target cells, something that is very difficult to do with other techniques. Dr Tang's main conclusions are that sample preparation using the AcouWash system offers a low-cost, gentle, and effective way to ensure that downstream analysis is performed on high quality viable samples. The second poster presents AcouSort's in-house work on high throughput cell wash and show new data on efficient and gentle cell wash at flowrates up to 5 mL/minute combined with a 5x up-concentration.

By using acoustic cell wash, contaminants can be efficiently removed from the cells in a one-step process while retaining more than 98% of the cells. Proliferation studies also show that the AcouWash technology is very gentle to the cells and that cell proliferation after acoustic processing is the same as for unprocessed samples. The results presented in the poster is a great example on how acoustic sorting can be rapid, efficient, and gentle to the cells, combining several sample preparation steps into one.
