AcouSort AB today announced it has signed three separate contracts around the AcouWash benchtop system, including an order from a research group at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
“We are very pleased with the interest shown by both academia and the industry for our AcouWash systems,” said AcouSort’s CEO Dr. Torsten Freltoft.
The AcouWash system ordered by the researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison will be used both in the group’s research within the area of radiology, as well as for applications related to cell isolation for cytometry applications. The system will be delivered shortly and will be used to simplify the lab’s sample preparation workflows that today contain repeated centrifugation cycles.
In addition, two new lease contracts on AcouWash systems have recently been signed; one to a Flow cytometry core facility at an Italian research institute and the other to a Korean biotech company. If the lease periods go well and the AcouWash fulfils the user needs, the leases may be prolonged or turn into acquisitions of the systems.
“Being able to lease out the AcouWash systems have previously been shown to be a good way of building collaborations, and we are looking forward to the results from these two leases,” said Dr. Freltoft.
