Company Overview

Akadeum Life Sciences, Inc. is a biotechnology company that has developed and commercialized a proprietary, flotation-based separation technology called Buoyancy Activated Cell Sorting (BACS™). Founded in 2014 and based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, the company's platform uses microscopic bubbles to gently and efficiently isolate specific cells, nucleic acids, and other biological targets from samples by floating them to the surface for easy removal. This method is designed to be gentler, more scalable, and more efficient than traditional separation techniques. Akadeum's products, including kits and the Alerion™ Cell Separation System, are aimed at the life science research, diagnostics, and particularly the cell and gene therapy manufacturing markets, with a mission to advance human health by providing better tools for scientific breakthroughs.
