The ALDESORTERTM is specifically designed to address the needs of clinical cell sorting including: ultra-high speed sorting, completely sealed fluidic path for disposability and sterility, compact size, and ease-of use. When completed, the ALDESORTER will be desk-top size and have the ability to sort therapeutic stem cell doses in one to three hours. The ALDESORTER will be unlike currently available cell sorters that are large, complex research instruments.
Design of the prototype ALDESORTER which highlights its desktop size.The ALDESORTER is being developed as part of an alliance between Aldagen, Inc. and Innovative Micro Technology (IMT). The alliance combines the unique strengths of the two companies. IMT is currently the world’s leading contract manufacturer for MEMS. IMT will be responsible for the design and manufacture of the ALDESORTER and the disposable MEMS sorting chips. Aldagen has strong expertise in the field of cellular therapy, and one of the top clinical development portfolios in the regenerative medicine field. Aldagen is responsible for the cell labeling chemistries and for integrating the ALDESORTER into its manufacturing operations.
