Applied Cells, Inc., was founded to create revolutionary solution to complete the workflow of cell separation and enrichment products, which increase cell separation efficiently by fundamentally changing how physics is employed in the process. We are helping in battles against cancer by providing tools that are not only capable of isolating rarest cancer cells, but also capable of extracting highest quality immune cells to achieve better cell therapy outcome.
Our proprietary methods present a unique advantage in enrichment of target cells, including tumor cells and immune cells, from whole blood and from tissues, with high recovery, high purity and high reproducibility (3H). Our products are valuable alternatives for cell therapy and clinical labs to achieve SOP through full automation and programmable process flow.
We are a team of biologists, chemists, physicists, engineers, and business experts. We are innovators and makers. We come together for the goal of bridging our cross-boundary expertise into making better tools that help save lives.
Save a life, Save the world.
