The eBook, ‘Accelerating Cell & Gene Therapy Development’, was developed as a resource for scientists and researchers providing the latest in cutting edge technologies, research methodologies, practical applications, and protocols in the area of cell and gene therapy. The eBook features top names in the in the life science industry.
The application note, ‘Monitoring CAR-T Cell Therapy Production Using the LUNA-FX7™’ by researchers at Logos Biosystems is included in the eBook. Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell therapy (or CAR-T cell therapy), has been widely used as an effective immunotherapy treatment for certain types of cancers since its approval by the FDA in 2018.
CAR-T cell therapy is a complicated process that involves genetically engineering a patient’s own T cells to attack cancer cells in the body. The key to success in this process is the ability to monitor cell health and viability throughout critical stages during the modification process of the T-cells.
The ‘Monitoring CAR-T Cell Therapy Production Using the LUNA-FX7™’,application note outlines how the LUNA-FX7™ automated cell counter’s advanced algorithms, quality control features, and bioprocessing mode are able to monitor and accurately assess cell health and viability throughout five critical stages of the CAR-T cell therapy production process.
The LUNA-FX7™ is a fully automated, bright field and dual-fluorescence capable, high through-put automated cell counter. This precise and accurate cell counter has a very small footprint making it perfect for the benchtop. Using advanced algorithms, machine-learning capabilities, and increased measuring volumes reduce CV to less than 1% providing the ultimate in flexibility for busy labs.
Offering 1-, 2-, 3-, and 8-chamber disposable slides, users are able to count all chambers at one time. In addition, the intuitive interface allows users to easily switch between the 3- and 8-chamber slide formats and designate specific chambers – meaning no waste. As with all LUNA™ family cell counters, the LUNA-FX7™ is also compatible with the LUNA™ Reusable Slide.
The LUNA-FX7™ can also be purchased with CountWire™ software for 21 CFR, Part 11 compliance.
Logos Biosystems offers an entire portfolio of devices used for life science research. This includes its popular LUNA™ Family of Automated Cell Counters, the X-CLARITY™ Tissue Clearing System and Reagents, as well as the CELENA® X High-Content Imaging System and the CELENA® S Digital Microscope.
