Tiny smart sensors that stay inside the culture chamber are revolutionizing how we watch cell growth.
The G-Rex Chamber
- Rapid cell expansion: Oxygen and nutrients are delivered by simply moving air around.
- No pumps needed: Simplifies the process and reduces large-scale operational costs.
The Current Challenge
- Manual sampling: Workers must pull samples to check cell count and growth rate.
- Time-consuming: Disturbs cells, leading to less reliable results.
The Smart Sensor Solution
- Embedded devices: Detect cell density and health signals without touching the culture.
- Real-time data: Allows technicians to adjust conditions instantly or stop failed runs.
- Reduced need for extra machines: Lowers the cost of producing cancer-fighting therapies.
- Increased output: Enables multiple production lines to run side by side in the same space.
The Future of Cell-Based Medicines
Smart sensors could transform the proven G-Rex system into an even more efficient and less invasive production line for cell-based medicines.
