Product Details
How it Works:
Akadeum’s novel approach to positive selection for CAR-T cell production provides improvements over current industry standard methods, and the innate scalability of BACS™ microbubbles allows for rapid optimization of cell therapy workflows.
Using washed leukopak material or PBMCs as a starting material, T cells are labeled with biotinylated antibodies targeting CD3 and CD28. BACS™ Selection, Activation & Expansion Microbubbles – CR are mixed into the sample where they bind to the labeled cells and gently float them to the surface. Unwanted cells can be removed from below the microbubble layer, and the positively selected T cells transferred to a culture vessel.
Additional Information:
BACS™ are inherently inert and do not impact culture conditions. Over time and with cell division, cells gently settle to the bottom of the plate where they continue to expand until collection.
