    摘要: A whole blood treatment device includes a first conduit, a second conduit, and a rotating or reciprocating element having a channel. The first and second conduits are fluidly coupled to the rotating or reciprocating element such that the channel is fluidly continuous with the first conduit when the channel is fluidly discontinuous with the second conduit, and such that the channel is fluidly discontinuous with the first conduit when the channel is fluidly continuous with the second conduit. The first conduit is configured to receive whole blood, and the second conduit is configured to receive a regeneration fluid. The channel comprises a surface that is modified with an affinity agent at a concentration effective to allow removal of a target compound from whole blood.

    摘要: A whole blood treatment device includes a cartridge configured to receive whole blood, having a wall defining an interior volume, an inlet, and an outlet, a support structure having a surface, inside of the cartridge, and an affinity agent, attached to the surface of the support structure. The affinity agent is effective to bind to a target agent that is desirable for removal from a patient. The target agent is selected from the group consisting of: inhibitory checkpoint molecules, inflammatory factors, cancerous cells, autoantibodies, opioids and heavy metals. A method of removing a target agent from whole blood of a patient in a whole blood treatment device comprising pumping whole blood into a cartridge, containing a support structure having a surface, with a plurality of affinity agents on the support structure, to contact the whole blood with the affinity agents; binding the target agent with the affinity agents; and removing the whole blood having a reduced amount of the target agent from the cartridge. The target agent is selected from the group consisting of: inhibitory checkpoint molecules, inflammatory factors, cancerous cells, autoantibodies, opioids and heavy metals.

    摘要: A method of separating a cell-containing sample into a substantially cell-depleted portion, and a cell-containing portion comprising at least one of a stem cell, a lymphocyte, and a leukocyte comprises a step in which the sample is received in a vessel with at least one flexible wall. In another step, an additive and particles are added to the sample, wherein the additive substantially binds to the at least one of the stem cell, lymphocyte, and leukocyte, and the particles and wherein the particles substantially bind to the at least one of the stem cell, lymphocyte, and leukocyte, and the additive, thereby producing a cell-containing network. In a further step, the network is separated from the substantially cell-depleted portion by applying a magnetic force.

    摘要: A receptacle having a plurality of interconnected chambers arranged to permit multiple process steps or processes to be performed independently or simultaneously. The receptacles are manufactured to separate liquid from dried reagents and to maintain the stability of the dried reagents. An immiscible liquid, such as an oil, is included to control loading of process materials, facilitate mixing and reconstitution of dried reagents, limit evaporation, control heating of reaction materials, concentrate solid support materials to prevent clogging of fluid connections, provide minimum volumes for fluid transfers, and to prevent process materials from sticking to chamber surfaces. The receptacles can be adapted for use in systems having a processing instrument that includes an actuator system for selectively moving fluid substances between chambers and a detector. The actuator system can be arranged to concentrate an analyte present in a sample. The detector can be used to detect an optical signal emitted by the contents of the receptacle.
