Short summary:

Currently, systems offering high quality and realiable isolation of cells are expansive and require a lot of hand-on work (FACS) or have low yield and flow rates (MACS, etc.). 

The goal of this project is to create a novel, innovative cell isolation system, which will enable easy and effective isolation of various cell types from peripheral venous blood and umbilical cord blood with less hands-on work, greater yield and lower cost than currently available systems.

 
Role of Medical Faculty, University of Maribor:

Design and preparation of cell isolation system, testing system on existing cell cultures and biological samples (blood, umbilical cord blood, providing biolocal samples for system testing and validation.
