Accidental Discoveries - Digital Magnetic Cell Sorting Technology with Coleman Murray, Ph.D.

We're joined by Ferrologix Inc.'s Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer Coleman Murray, Ph.D., to talk about the company's digital magnetic cell sorting technology (DMS).  Murray provides background on DMS by comparing it to traditional magnetic cell sorting and the applications of DMS. Similar to the discovery of penicillin and the microwave, hear how an accidental discovery became Murray's thesis and eventually led to a start-up company.Want to try out this innovative DMS technology from Ferrologix?
