MarrowXpress Stem Cell Processing System Gets CE Mark

June 19th, 2008 Genetics


ThermoGenesis received CE Mark clearance for their MarrowXpress stem cell processing device today. It is still pending 510(k) clearance, so it looks like the US will have to wait for European labs to try their luck.
The device automatically isolates and concentrates stem cells from bone marrow aspirate in 30 minutes. The entire system runs on a rechargeable NiMH battery. It also includes data tracking software that communicates with the device in real-time. Currently it is only intended for research purposes.
