    摘要: A method for dissociating cell aggregates in an agitated reactor. The method comprises providing a cell culture comprising cell aggregates in the agitated reactor, contacting the cell aggregates with a dissociation reagent, generating a dissociation force in the agitated reactor and exposing the contacted cell aggregates to the generated dissociation force under conditions sufficient to dissociate the contacted cell aggregates. The method may be used in a process for passaging cells and/or generating dissociated differentiated cells from stem and/or progenitor cells.

    摘要: The invention relates generally to compositions and methods for disrupting cells (e.g., disrupting cellular and nuclear membranes). In particular, the invention provides modified solid surfaces (e.g., bead surfaces) and their use in disruption of cellular membranes (e.g., during cellular lysis procedures (e.g., for recovery of nucleic acid (e.g., DNA or RNA) from mechanical cell lysis)). Compositions and methods of the invention find use in a wide range of applications including molecular biology and medical science.

    摘要: Disclosed are compositions for isolating populations of nucleic acids from biological, forensic, and environmental samples. Also disclosed are methods for using these compositions as one-step formulations for killing pathogens, inactivating nucleases, and releasing polynucleotides from other cellular components within the sample, and stabilizing the nucleic acids prior to further processing or assay. The disclosed compositions safely facilitate rapid sample collection, and provide extended storage and transport of the samples at ambient or elevated temperature without contamination of the sample or degradation of the nucleic acids contained therein. This process particularly facilitates the collection of specimens from remote locations, and under conditions previously considered hostile for preserving the integrity of nucleic acids released from lysed biological samples without the need of refrigeration or freezing prior to molecular analysis.

    摘要: An apparatus for sectioning fresh unfixed tissue into very thin layers with preserved tissue architecture, antigenicity, mRNA content, and amenable to 3-D computer reconstruction without mechanical or thermal damage by employing a sectioning tool having an electrode with an intense focused electrical field at an edge. A computer controlled x-y-z translation stage moves the sectioning tool through the tissue as defined by a predetermined program. The sectioning tool produces consecutive thin sections of fresh tissue for immunohistochemical and nucleic acids analyses without mechanical or thermal damage, ultimately allowing high-resolution volumetric reconstruction of gene and protein expression patterns of large tissue specimens. The geometry of the sectioning tool is selected so as to produce a spatially localized electrical field of sufficient intensity to sever molecular bonds or propagate flaws in tissue without mechanical cutting.

    摘要: A macroencapsulation device for somatic cells using ultrapurified Na alginate and polysulfone hollow fibers of 30 kDa molecular weight cutoff. Ultrapurified Na alginate material is used which has a high `G` content, low endotoxin content, low divalent metal toxins and low protein impurities. Islet cells prior to being encapsulated, are irrigated with Hank's modified solution (without Ca and Mg) containing gentamycin, vancomycin and amphotericin B and then passed through a leukoabsorb filter to reduce the donor antigen load of passenger leukocytes and to reduce the bioburden of microorganisms including viruses. Encapsulation is done in RPMI 1640 tissue culture fluid containing necessary nutritional supplements and ATP source of energy. The open ends of the fiber are covered with a porous membrane. To further improve biocompatibility, the outer wall of the polysulfone is lightly gelled with alginate gel. Such double gelled, encapsulated fibers do not affect diffusion of glucose or insulin across the hollow fibers.
