Adoptive T cell therapy: engineering and biomanufacturing chimeric antigen receptor-T cell

Advances in automated cell washing and concentration

The successful commercialization of cell therapies requires thorough planning and consideration of product quality, cost and scale of the manufacturing process. The implementation of automation can be central to a robust and reproducible manufacturing process at industrialized scales. There have been a number of wash-and-concentrate devices developed for cell manufacturing. These technologies have arisen from transfusion medicine, hematopoietic stem cell and biologics manufacturing where operating mechanisms are distinct from manual centrifugation. This review describes the historical origin and fundamental technologies underlying each currently available wash-and-concentrate device as well as their relative advantages and disadvantages in cell therapy applications. Understanding the specific attributes and limitations of these technologies is essential to optimizing cell therapy manufacturing.
