Cell Processing
What is Cell Processing?
Cell processing refers to the preparation of cells for use in treatments, research, or tissue engineering. It involves isolating cells from tissues, purifying them, and ensuring they are viable and functional for their intended purpose. These processes are critical for creating consistent, high-quality cells suitable for applications including 3D bioprinting. Successful cell processing requires sophisticated techniques to preserve cell health, scalability to meet clinical demands, and precision to reduce variability.
Innovations We’re Working On
- A special device called a “cell disaggregation system” that separates cells efficiently.
- Standards to ensure cells are healthy and safe.
Key Milestones
- Developed a system that improves cell recovery from tissue samples.
- Demonstrated a prototype that’s ready for commercialization.
Impact
Cell processing is essential for creating personalized medicine, helping researchers develop treatments tailored to individual people.
