How Centrifugation Is Keeping Pace With Bioprocessing Needs: Tunable Cell Processing Solutions Ensure Separation Efficiency

By Dan Nelson

In the cell and gene therapy space there is a strong focus on the separation processes which enable harvest, wash, concentration, and media exchange. Centrifuges play a key role in the manufacturing of cell-based and cell-derived products as they can be tuned to balance separation efficiency while achieving other process goals, such as product quality and processing speed. More specifically, a single-use tubular bowl centrifuge stands out for it's ability to help developers find an operating window that offers the optimal balance between high separation efficiency, high productivity, and low shear.
