Amersham Biosciences and Cell Therapeutics Scandinavia in R&D collaboration agreement for cell separation media
The density gradient centrifugation media from Amersham Biosciences allows researchers to isolate cells according to their density and/or size, and are already established for applications such as lymphocyte isolation, bone marrow processing and blood banking. Amersham Biosciences has now secured a two-year collaboration agreement with Cell Therapeutics Scandinavia AB which will enable protocols to be developed for the use of RediGrad(TM) media, the latest addition to the product portfolio, for the separation of a wider range of cell types.
Guenter Jagschies, vice president protein separations marketing at Amersham Biosciences comments: "New applications for the RediGrad media will increase Amersham Biosciences' offerings to customers in the cell therapy market enabling simple and quick separation of a variety of cell types."
Professor Anders Vedin, Chairman of Cell Therapeutics Scandinavia, says: "We are extremely satisfied with our collaboration with Amersham Biosciences to leverage our cell based technologies for world wide application helping the chemical, pharmaceutical, biotech and cosmetic industries to better and safer products faster".
