Accelerating adherent cell production for diabetes gene therapy using a scalable fixed-bed bioreactor platform

Watch the video or read the poster to learn about:

• A novel fixed bed bioreactor specifically designed for high yield viral vector production from adherent cell lines
• How researchers at the Gittes Lab for Diabetes and Pancreatitis Research at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center/Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh demonstrated significant productivity gains using the Ascent FBR system for type 1 diabetes research
• How the Ascent FBR system enabled the Gittes lab to continuously monitor and control the temperature, pH, and DO of their HEK293 cells, resulting in higher viral productivity
