2024.04.15 – EMBL Advanced Training Center Heidelberg
FFX is very happy to be an industry sponsor at EMBL’s event ‘The mechanics of life: From development to desease’. Teaming up with Rivercyte again, we are showcasing how the TissueGrinder can support medical research and revealing the advantages of our mechanical tissue dissociation for unraveling the units of life when investigating the mechanical properties of cells and how they are associated with inflammation, cancer, and ageing.
Obtaining high-quality omics data at the single-cell level from archived human tissue samples is crucial for gaining insights into cellular heterogeneity and pushing the field of personalized medicine forward. This technical brief presents a comprehensive methodological framework for the efficient enzyme-free preparation of tissue-derived single cell suspensions and their conversion into single-cell miRNA sequencing libraries.

2023.09.28+29 – Universitätsmedizin Mannheim – Lesser-Loewe-Symposium: Pathology: Opportunities for Newcomers in Science
In a poster session at PONS, Fraunhofer proudly presented the results of a study comparing the influence on surface markers of primary isolated splenocytes for cells dissociated from tissue samples with enzymatic treatment vs. mechanical dissociation with the FFX TissueGrinder
Employing our FFX TissueGrinder with its fast and enzyme-free dissociation of solid biopsies, a team from the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light (MPL) in Erlangen has created a new, fast and precise method for clinicians to analyse cells in samples from cancer patients without the need for a trained pathologist.
2022.12.01 – Frontiers in Medicine, Sec. Translational Medicine
Recent advances hold promise of making personalized medicine a step closer to implementation in clinical settings. However, traditional sample preparation methods are not robust and reproducible. In this study, the TissueGrinder, a novel mechanical semi-automated benchtop device, which can isolate cells from tissue in a very fast and enzyme-free way is tested for cell isolation from surgically resected tumor tissues.
