[, Separating Cancer Cells The Department of Biological Sciences has taken delivery of new cell-sorting apparatus which the Department hopes will open up new possibilities for cancer detection. The Department is using the apparatus to separate leukemia cells from normal white cells as part of an investigation of changes in the material of chromosomes which lead to cancer. '"he Head of the Department (Professor B. Boettcher). who has developed an hypothesis on the induction of cancer, learnt about the cell-sorting appar­ atus, knows as a LACS. when he visited The Netherlands Cancer Institute in Amsterdam in 1977. The LACS was developed by Dr. W.S. Bont. a researcher attach­ ed to the Institute, and is remarkably cheap compared with other types of modern cell­ sorters. Professor Boettcher stated that the European Molecular Biology Organisation in 1978 compared the capacities of different machines to separate cells. Pdrticular interest was center­ ed on the $150,000 Fluorescence Activated Cell Sorter, he said. However, the LACS which costs approximately $1,000 was more efficient in sorting cells. As well, it was able to separafe chromosomes from Chinese hamster c~l ls, which the Fluorescence Ac.tivated Cell Sorter was not uble to attempt.

Because of the potential of t~e machine the apparatus would now be manufactured in Australia by Paton Industries. of Adelaide, ) under licence to the Dutch manufacturers, De Koningh.
