Cell Therapy Manufacturing With The ekko™ System: DMSO Removal for Thawed Apheresis Material

For CAR-T processes that require a freezing step between apheresis collection and manufacturing, it is critical upon thaw to remove Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), a standard component of cryoprotectants, from the product to ensure the utmost cellular health of the apheresis material. In this application note, we demonstrate how the ekko™ Acoustic Cell Processing System consistently processes apheresis products.
