Automated, fit-for-purpose tools are essential in CAR-T processing to support sustainable manufacturing of clinical and market-approved cell therapy products. This webinar will discuss how the ekko™ Acoustic Cell Processing System uses acoustic technology as a touchless approach to manipulate cells, enabling a modular tool across the CAR-T manufacturing workflow. Typical performance of templated ekko™ System processes for DMSO washout of leukapheresis material, low volume and high cell concentrate for electroporation preparation, and harvest of expanded T cells will be reviewed. This webinar will also give an early glimpse at the ekko™ Select System for unmatched T cell selection.
