Continuous Quadrupole Magnetic Separation of Islets during Digestion Improves Purified Porcine Islet Viability by Bradley P. Weegman, Venkata Sunil Kumar Sajja, Thomas M. Suszynski, Michael D. Rizzari, William E. Scott III, Jennifer P. Kitzmann, Kate R. Mueller, Thomas R. Hanley, David J. Kennedy, Paul W. Todd, Appakalai N. Balamurugan, Bernhard J. Hering, Klearchos K. Papas

“…The islet isolation and purification processes require exposure to extended cold ischemia, warm-enzymatic digestion, mechanical agitation, and use of damaging chemicals for density gradient separation (DG), all of which reduce viable islet yield. In this paper, we describe initial proof-of-concept studies exploring quadrupole magnetic separation (QMS) of islets as an alternative to DG to reduce exposure to these harsh conditions. …”
