GETINGE AND CELLREV LAUNCH PLATFORM TO TRANSFORM ALLOGENEIC CELL THERAPY MANUFACTURING

Getinge has partnered with the bioprocessing company CellRev in the development of a continuous cell processing platform called Livit ACE (Adherent Cell Expansion). The solution is a breakthrough within allogenic cell therapy manufacturing.

The cell therapy market is an emerging field and an increasing number of ongoing trials highlights that the demand will continue to grow. Several big pharmaceutical companies are investing in cell therapy manufacturing facilities, and they need the right infrastructure to support it.

The platform can improve processing capabilities and product consistency versus existing technologies. By increasing the productivity of the process, Livit ACE can also reduce the overall cost per dose by more than 50%. In addition, it has the potential to remove significant amounts of single-use consumables from adherent cell culture workflows.
