FUJIFILM Diosynth Biotechnologies is implementing the newest evolution of UV-vis spectroscopy. The simple- to-use SoloVPE system provides accurate concentration measurements in under a minute, whereas comparable UV methods may take over an hour. This difference translates into less time spent on cumbersome in-process testing and more time spent confidently making product. It can measure concentration without the need for dilution, which eliminates pipetting and mixing errors associated with sample preparation. Read the full text of this application note in the…

Ensuring optimal and maximal T-cell production is critical for adoptive immunotherapy and its continued success. The Xuri Cell Expansion System is an important component of the clinical manufacturing process. So we sought to investigate the effect of rocking rate and angle on the expansion of T cells. We used a combination of experimental data and predictive modeling and found that the rocking rate significantly influences the expansion potential of T cells with minimal contribution from the rocking angle. The results…
