Cell Harvesting: Optimizing Viability And Recovery In Cell Therapy

Two common steps in cell therapy manufacturing, cell harvest and cell washing, can damage cells if they are exposed to high shear forces. This can lead to a decrease in the number of viable cells, which can impact the efficacy of the therapy. The CARR Biosystems UniFuge family of centrifuges is a valuable tool for cell therapy manufacturers who are looking to improve the viability and recovery of their cells.

Review data that demonstrates the performance of a single-use centrifuge for the harvest of cells in cell therapy production. Specifically, the key performance indicators of cell viability and cell recovery are presented for a variety of common cell types and over a range of processing conditions, such as feed flow rate and g-force.
