The most promising areas of translational medical research, including CAR-T cancer therapies and stem cell-based regenerative medicine, require the isolation and purification of large numbers of viable, functional cells. There is growing demand from researchers and clinicians for technologies that provide high viability, enhanced efficiency and scalability to optimize conventional cell separation techniques.
Quad Technologies Inc (“Quad”), developer of a novel cell separation technology, has secured a substantial amount of capital from its Series A round to accelerate development of disruptive cell processing technologies for translational medicine applications. The investment has enabled Quad to launch its MagCloudz™ Streptavidin Cell Separation Kit, which is the first commercially available product incorporating its proprietary QuickGel™ technology. The MagCloudz kits enable straightforward, scalable and fast cell separation with unique magnetic particle dissociation, resulting in complete label free cells for applications including T Cell purification, stem cell isolation, circulating tumor cell (CTC) separation and immunotherapy.
