Smarter Technologies for Advancing the Next Generation of CAR-T Therapies
For immunotherapy researchers, Sartorius in vitro assay solutions reduce complexity through deeper insights, streamlined workflows via the collapse of various assays, validation of results by complementary technologies, and robust multiparametric software analysis.
The quest to extend the success of CD19 directed CAR-T therapy to other hematologic malignancies (e.g. CD123-specific ALL/AML), and ultimately solid tumors, ideally with off-the-shelf CAR-T solutions, is of paramount importance.
In order to achieve this, appropriate R&D in vitro methods are required to rapidly identify novel tumor antigens and engineer effective, tumor-seeking T-cells. This process includes evaluating various CAR delivery methods used to introduce genetic modifications as well as the continuous assessment of specificity, toxicity and activity of these modulated T-cells.
Also, for increased safety, we need to ensure through constant monitoring that, at no point in the experimental process, we allow for contamination (e.g. mycoplasma).
The iQue® advanced flow cytometry and Incucyte® automated, continuous live-cell analysis platforms (instrumentation, reagents and software solutions), in combination with rapid (< 3 hours) contamination testing and plate seeding (Picus® & Picus® Nxt series) solutions form the optimal combination for your CAR-T research needs.

Engineered for the Culture and Expansion of Lymphocytes: C4Cell®️ Nutri-T Medium
The 4Cell®️ Nutri-T medium is a xeno-free, serum-free medium, optimized for the activation and expansion of PBMC's (T cells, CAR-T) and TILs in ex vivo cell culture conditions.
4Cell®️ Nutri-T eliminates the need for serum addition, and thus simplifies the process, lowers the regulatory risk, and reduces the associated logistical burden. 4Cell®️ Nutri-T was developed using actual cancer patient cells, and it shows excellent performance for PBMC, TIL and CAR-T, even at low initial seeding densities.

Plate Seeding: Picus® and Picus® Nxt Electronic Pipettes
Your pipette can be an extension of your hand, and is one of the most used (and most personal) tools in your laboratory. Manual and electronic pipette options enable multiple plate setups to optimize CAR-T cell culture and analysis conditions, while maximizing comfort and minimizing strain injuries.
Precise E:T ratios for correct % specific lysis calculations are crucial, hence minimizing the risk of error to ensure accuracy in seeding across a large number of plates is an absolute prerequisite for excellent results.
