AcouSort has received an order from Lund University to develop and deliver a modified AcouWash2 system with a unique pre-focusing feature to enable high precision cell separation of circulating tumor cells from white blood cells. The project will generate revenue of SEK 500,000 in 2023. By using pre-focusing technology, the modified AcouWash system will enable high precision separation of cells that are very similar in size and weight.

This will in turn allow for a range of new applications to be developed for research and diagnostics purposes. One ambition is to develop a diagnostic application that can identify cancer cells at a very early stage, something which has the potential of increasing survival among cancer patients. Another ambition of the project is to develop a research application that can separate different types of white blood cells from each other enabling the analysis of the different populations separately.
