Linkit® AX – Your Smart Simultaneous Aliquoting Solutions
The Linkit® AX solution was expertly designed to overcome the challenges of manual filling and aliquoting, without requiring investment in complex equipment. This advanced aseptic filling system efficiently channels process fluids into 10 Flexsafe® bags, enabling rapid and simultaneous filling. Its plug-and-play design, enhanced by a patented, ready-to-use bag distribution manifold, significantly reduces operator effort and error, ensuring precise fluid distribution into each of the 10 bags with an impressive accuracy of ±5.1% (applicable for 250mL, 500mL, and 1000mL bags). This makes it an ideal solution for aliquoting small fluid quantities in applications such as small-batch media preparation for cell and gene therapy, as well as other process fluid aliquoting tasks.

Aseptic Cell Harvest & Concentration in Cell Therapy Manufacturing
An automated, single-use solution designed to minimize contamination risks by reducing the need for manual handling. Ksep offers scalable counterflow continuous processing for aseptic cell concentration, wash, and harvest in cell therapy manufacturing, supporting high recoveries. By harmonizing a balance between centrifugal and fluid flow forces, it imparts very low shear on cells, ensuring high viability and yield. The automated cell wash feature enhances harvest quality in cell processing applications. The Ksep® system is adaptable from process development (0.1 L) to commercial manufacturing (200 L), providing seamless scalability.

Innovation at its Best: Optimizing Upstream and Downstream Lentivirus
While several CAR-T cell therapies are already approved, patient access remains a fundamental challenge. How can manufacturing innovation enable better upstream yields and downstream recovery to reduce cost per dose? In this session we explore innovation at its best to improve plasmid engineering, transient lentivirus production as well as lentiviral purification performance with newly developed chemical modifications for functional CAR-T cell generation.
Rapid & Automated Direct Quantification of Total Virus Particles
A robust analytical tool delivering virus counts in near real-time. This system is adaptable across various virus growth and purification processes, offering versatility across numerous applications. Pinpoint optimal harvesting periods, validate processing stages, and establish final formulations efficiently and confidently. Viruses are labeled using specific reagents, employing either a direct dye method or high-affinity monoclonal antibodies. Subsequently, samples undergo precise and intense laser illumination. This method facilitates swift, direct, and precise quantification of total virus particles within a sample.
