Maintaining cell health and viability in cell processing

Cell separation is essential to cell therapy clinical manufacturing workflows. Maintenance of cell health and viability is key in steps where cell separation is performed such as washing cells, concentrating cells, and/or performing buffer exchange.

Counterflow centrifugation (CFC) can be an ideal technique for cell therapy applications. It is a low-shear stress technique that is inherently gentle to cells, enabling cell health and viability.

In this webinar you’ll learn about CFC and selected applications of it in cell therapy workflows:

For PBMC separation for T and NK cell processing
In CAR T cell manufacturing
For whole blood processing
Closed-system harvesting and processing iPSCs and MSCs
