Levitas Bio LeviCell 1.0 Benchtop Magnetic Levitation Cell Analyzer System with Fluorescence Imaging

The Levitas Bio LeviCell 1.0 Analyzer System is a compact benchtop instrument designed for gentle, label-free cell separation utilizing proprietary *magnetic levitation technology* to discriminate cells by intrinsic density differences. Widely used in molecular diagnostics, cell biology, and bioprocessing workflows, it enables rapid isolation and enrichment of viable cells from heterogeneous samples with minimal manual input.

Key Technical Features:

• Magnetic Levitation Cell Separation: Employs rare-earth permanent levitation magnets for non-invasive, density-based cell sorting without fluorescent or magnetic labels, preserving cell viability and integrity essential in biomanufacturing and synthetic biology.
• Sample Handling: Supports a single sample input and two output fractions with an automated syringe pump delivering a controlled flow rate of 100 µL/min for reproducible processing.
• Integrated Fluorescence Imaging: Dual LED fluorescence excitation/emission channels—470 nm/524 nm (e.g., Calcein, FITC) and 560 nm/628 nm (e.g., PI, Cy3.5)—support live-cell fluorescence analysis alongside brightfield transmitted illumination, enabling detailed biomarker detection and live-cell imaging applications.
• High-Resolution Imaging: Approximate 2-micron resolution facilitates precise cell visualization critical for cell viability assessment and downstream molecular diagnostics.
• Barcode Scanner Integration: Enhances sample traceability and workflow management in clinical diagnostics and research laboratories.
• Operational Specifications: AC input voltage 100–240 VAC; compact footprint 475 × 340 × 240 mm; instrument weight 15.3 kg. Runs on Windows 11 with Levitas Experiment Manager v2.3.1 software for streamlined experiment control and data management.

This system is essential for biotechnology research areas such as single-cell isolation, cell sorting prior to gene editing, and biopharmaceutical production where label-free, gentle processing and rapid sample-to-result times are critical. The LeviCell 1.0 lends itself well to live-cell imaging studies and fluorescence-based viability assays.

Applications:

• Isolation and enrichment of specific viable cell populations without magnetic or fluorescent labeling
• Removal of dead or damaged cells prior to genomic or proteomic downstream workflows
• Critical tool in molecular cloning workflows, synthetic biology research, and bioprocess monitoring

The LeviCell 1.0 is supplied with the analyzer unit, barcode scanner, blank test cartridge, and PC preloaded with controlling software. Remote setup, training, and technical support are available, making it suitable for integration into clinical diagnostic labs, biotechnology R&D facilities, and academic research institutions worldwide.
