Abstract
A system and method for mechanical processing of cells includes using a frame () forming an inlet channel (), an outlet channel (), and a processing chamber () fluidly connected between the inlet and outlet channels, wherein the processing chamber includes an anvil surface () formed on the frame. A hammer () mounted on the frame has a processing surface disposed in opposed relation to the anvil surface. The hammer is configured to move relative to the anvil surface. An actuator connected to the frame and operably associated with the hammer operates to move the hammer relative to the anvil surface and in close proximity to the anvil surface, wherein the hammer operates between a retracted position in which the processing surface is at a distance from the anvil surface, and an extended position in which the processing surface abuts the anvil surface.
