An automated and functionally closed cell expansion system

Produced by Terumo Blood and Cell Technologies

Quantum Flex allows advanced therapy developers to complete their early process development on the same platform that they’ll use for full-scale manufacturing, as well as create a cell culture environment in which cells thrive. The bioreactor platform provides optimal conditions for cell expansion with built-in advanced software to ease the deployment of protocols to multiple systems. Everyone from early and late stage researchers to commercialized developers will have access to the highest quality raw materials. The platform has the flexibility to progress autologous and allogeneic applications, as well as viral vector and exosome production, across multiple bioreactor sizes.

The system incorporates Terumo BCT​’s hollow-fiber perfusion technology, which provides a cell culture environment where cells have continuous access to fresh media, waste removal, and gas exchange, which ensures optimal conditions for expansion. And the software supports cGMP compliance, with user authentication, batch records, and fleet management features, allowing for easy deployment of protocols to multiple systems.
