Quantum Flex Cell Expansion System

Accelerate your commercialization journey with an automated cell culture environment

Simplified cell expansion, one automated platform

You know that successful cell expansion is critical for taking a cell or gene therapy from scientific breakthrough to process development to commercialized patient treatment. Now you can elevate this essential process with the Quantum Flex™ Cell Expansion System, an automated, functionally closed system that simplifies, de-risks, and accelerates your journey — all within a single platform.

A cell expansion solution with low seeding requirements

The Quantum Flex system from Terumo Blood and Cell Technologies is a holistic, connected solution designed to meet your multiple cell culture bioreactor needs. Quantum Flex is suitable for a variety of cell types and applications and is scalable, reducing the need for multiple platforms.

This automated cell culture solution has minimal seeding requirements. And, using hollow-fiber perfusion technology, it can produce billions of suspension cells and hundreds of millions of adherent cells with a harvest volume of less than 1 L, simplifying downstream processing.

Integrated software assists with monitoring and process control and helps facilitate Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) compliance.

Combined, these advantages — highlighted in the illustration — can also help reduce labor, costs, and open events.

Six key benefits of Quantum Flex:

  • Scalability
  • Connectivity
  • Minimal seeding requirements
  • Concentrated harvest volume
  • cGMP compliance
  • Adaptability

Flexible cell expansion for a wide variety of therapies

With flexibility and adaptability built into its innovative design, Quantum Flex fits into your process, regardless of what cell type you are working with or what type of therapy you are manufacturing. It provides a robust environment for both suspension cell culture (including T cell culture) and adherent cell culture (including mesenchymal stem cell culture). It accommodates a variety of starting material requirements and harvest needs, and it tolerates a range of common media and reagents.

Cell manufacturing that scales as your therapy needs evolve and progress

As an automated, perfusion-based cell expansion system, Quantum Flex scales to fit your needs and adapts to your process as your therapy moves from process development to commercial production. Two sizes of hollow-fiber bioreactor allow you to transition between batch sizes on the same platform — so you can scale up or down as needed for each stage of your process, potentially saving time and money.
