Spectra Optia Cell Collection Services

Optimize your cell therapy starting material with insights based on 60 years of apheresis expertise

Drive improvement, gain insight, and increase control through your cell collection data

The best possible starting material is critical to providing the best outcome

Your cell therapy manufacturing process is highly dependent on the quality of your starting material. Whether you are just starting your CAR T-cell therapy clinical trial or scaling up from phase 1 to phase 2, the starting material collected from the patient matters. No two patients are the same, and collections can vary. Controlling what you can becomes all the more important.

Research of note

Variability in CAR T-cell expansion may be caused by the contamination of the starting peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) concentrates with monocytes (non-target cells).1 Read this journal article, originally published in Cytotherapy, for more information.
