Watch this video to gain an in-depth understanding of Thermo Fisher Scientific’s digitally compatible, GMP-compliant manufacturing platform to produce CAR T cells.

In this video you will see:

  • Preparation of media and reagents used for cell isolation and activation
  • Set up of consumable and instrument for cell processing using the Gibco CTS Rotea Counterflow Centrifugation System
  • Isolation and activation of the cells using the Gibco CTS DynaMag Magnet and CTS Rotea System
  • Transfer of the target cells to the bioreactor using the Thermo Scientific HyPerforma G3Lab controller for culture and lentiviral infection
  • Bead removal, cell wash and concentrate and cryopreservation of the final CAR T cell product
