A Multiply Labs robot cluster matches skilled operators on cell-therapy steps, with a lower cell count at low concentration
Autologous cell therapies are still made by hand, one patient at a time, and that cost is why they reach few people. What decides whether a robot can take over a validated process is whether the same instrument gives the same numbers, and here it mostly did. Mostly: at low concentration the robot counted significantly fewer cells than the operators (5.63 against 5.91 x 10^5 per mL), the CytoSinct needed its wash and elution lengthened, bag-to-bag transfer was robot-only, and the cells' phenotype and function were out of scope. The authors call it an R&D prototype.
Research entries are the timeline's graded entries that name this company. A level grades one claim, not the company, and a blank can mean the record has not caught up rather than that nothing was published.
