Data-driven platform selection for automated cell therapy manufacturing

Choosing the right automated manufacturing platform can make or break a cell therapy program – yet developers often lack transparent, objective data to guide that decision. This webinar offers a structured, evidence-based comparison as well as evaluation criteria to help fill that gap.

Join a process development expert from Charles River and a field application specialist from Cytiva as they walk through a real-world, head-to-head evaluation of the Sefia™ platform and a leading all-in-one automated manufacturing system. You’ll see biological performance data generated from three parallel runs using identical media and reagents, providing a rare, evidence-based assessment of process outcomes and operational considerations.

This session will also break down practical criteria to apply when assessing automation technologies, from workflow compatibility to performance, and share lessons learned from the transition to automated manufacturing systems.

Key takeaways

Review side-by-side biological data comparing the Sefia™ platform and a leading all-in-one automated manufacturing system across three equivalent process runs
Understand practical criteria for evaluating automated cell therapy manufacturing platforms, including workflow compatibility, operational flexibility, and scalability
Learn how CDMOs assess automation technologies using both biological performance data and operational considerations
Gain a decision-making framework you can apply to your own platform selection and long-term manufacturing strategy

Register to gain real-world data and practical CDMO insights for informed selection of automated cell therapy manufacturing platforms.
