Efficient Cell Separation for Cell Therapy and Beyond

An automated counterflow centrifugation–based technology outperforms manual peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) isolation.

Share

Many applications including cell therapy require removing white blood cells from leukapheresis products. When performed manually, this process can be laborious and subject to user error, which leads to decreased cell recovery rates. Automated systems that use counterflow centrifugation–based technology can produce greater cell yields while retaining viability.
