Leveraging Rapid Sterility Testing To Advance Cell Therapy Production

Contamination is a significant concern at multiple stages of the cell therapy manufacturing process. With various cell types like CAR-T, CAR-NK, and allogeneic cells, rapid sterility testing is a crucial workflow component. This presentation highlights how the Applied Biosystems SteriSEQ™ Rapid Sterility Testing Kit addresses the urgent need for quick and accurate sterility assessment. The kit quickly detects bacteria and fungi within five hours, featuring a multiplexed assay with internal positive and discriminatory positive controls to ensure accuracy.

The video also demonstrates how a simple centrifugation technique can differentiate between live and dead microbial cells, ensuring predominantly live DNA detection. Watch this video to uncover the benefits of rapid sterility testing for your cell therapy production.
