Closed and automated CAR-T production: a fast, simple workflow for high-dose, high-quality cells

As therapies advance toward commercialization, researchers and manufacturers face increasing pressure to streamline workflows without sacrificing cell yield or quality, especially for core steps of cell activation, virus transduction, and cell expansion.

Traditional CAR T workflows often use manual methods for cell activation and virus transduction, and require additional pre-culture before shifting to an automated expansion system, leading to redundant manual steps, risk of quality inconsistency, and long manufacturing cycle time.

This webinar introduces a protocol offering a significantly shortened manufacturing process timeline by closing and automating cell activation, virus transduction, and cell expansion within a single bioreactor system. Detailed data will be presented demonstrating that the Quantum™ 3-in-1 shortened manufacturing time by 30% compared with manual protocols and achieved over 40% transduction efficiency.

Watch this webinar to learn how to:

  • Integrate cell activation, virus transduction, and expansion into a single automated, functionally closed bioreactor run—eliminating the need for pre-culture and simplifying the CAR-T workflow
  • Achieve a 15B cell yield in a serum-free system within 8 days, reducing the manufacturing cycle by 30% compared with manual processes
  • Preserve 33% more Tscm phenotypes and deliver 2x higher transduction efficiency compared to manual processes
