Periodic Reporting for period 1 - READCELL (System for the efficient and non-invasive harvesting and RElease of ADherent CELLs controlled by light)
Período documentado: 2016-05-01 hasta 2017-10-31
Having shown the potential of the technology for automated, non-invasive cell harvesting, we established a close collaboration with an industrial partner, currently involved in the joint development of a minimum viable product to perform initial market tests as soon as the technology is sound, reproducibility issues have been solved and the industrialization strategy for the products is chosen.
Successful continuation of this project into a fully developed marketed product will bring into the biopharmaceuticals production arena an important tool for improved production of biopharmaceuticals. The advantages of the system are related to the potential for automation, reduced production costs and no addition of chemicals during the cell harvesting step, thereby resulting in improved quality of the obtained biopharmaceutical products.
