How to secure and standardize your cell expansion

Live30 webinars are thirty minute presentations designed to update you on the latest innovations, applications and data in a fast yet interactive format.

Manual cell expansion: variable and prone to errors. Especially when multiple operators are involved. One solution? Automation, which can improve the reproducibility and quality of your cellular products. How exactly can you automate and close the cell expansion step with the Xuri™ W25 cell expansion system? And, how can UNICORN™ software be utilized to control critical aspects of the cell expansion runs, themselves? Join us for our webinar, How to secure and standardize your cell expansion, to find out. Plus, team members from Anocca will share their first-hand experiences with Xuri™ W25 system and UNICORN™ software implementation — including why the team moved to these solutions, the advantages they’ve experienced, and how the solutions are currently being utilized.

Attend this webinar to:

  • Understand the benefits of increasing cell expansion automation, including enhanced reproducibility, improved product quality, and reduced processing timeframes 
  • Learn about the full range of capabilities and benefits of UNICORN™ software methods in harness with the Xuri™ W25 system
