On-Demand Webinar | The Journey to Liter-Scale CAR-T Cell Production with Perfusion

Reducing the cost per dose of allogeneic CAR-T therapies requires scalable solutions that enable mass production.  

In this webinar with experts from UCL and Repligen, we showcase the scale-up of a CAR-T perfusion process in single-use stirred-tank bioreactors with automated cell harvesting and serum-free, xeno-free medium. Join and learn strategies to seamlessly scale up CAR-T expansion for allogenic applications. 

 

What You Will Learn:

 

  1. Expanding CAR-T cells in 2 L single-use stirred-tank bioreactors coupled with ATF perfusion.
  2. The benefits of using xeno-free medium in CAR-T expansion.  
  3. The impact of automated bioreactor harvesting and buffer exchange on CAR-T cell quality.
