CultureWash
Our protocol software provides a fully-automated method to separate cellular product into its components in combination with our Sepax Cell Separation System. It enables a reproducible and user independent procedure.
CultureWash is designed for washing, exchanging medium, and concentrating cells. It offers flexible parameters and small final volume capabilities when manufacturing cellular therapy products.
