Use one platform for versatile cell processing procedures:
· Deglycerolize previously frozen products
· Produce bone marrow concentrates
· Wash blood salvaged for autologous reinfusion
· Volume-reduce cultured and expanded cell products
· Perform cell concentration and media exchange
· Density gradient separation
Gain confidence in the usability:
· Rely on one dependable cell processing tool
· Easily integrate color-coded disposable sets into customer processes
· View cellular separation and exert control over supernatant expression with a clear centrifuge cover
· Minimize training time, reduce need for technical support and lessen chance for operator error with intuitive operation
· Perform protocols efficiently with automation or the flexibility to use manual controls
Deliver repeatable results with automation and established design:
· Hydraulic fluid pressing against a flexible membrane expresses fluid or cells into an attached waste or collection bag
· Agitation with processing solution to wash the desired cell components or remove contaminants
· Pre-programming initiates variable spin times, valve selection for addition of another product or wash solution and stop options
· Programmable memory stores up to 10 protocols
· Flexible program allows changes during run mode
How it works -
The COBE 2991 Cell Processor provides operational reliability using automation for control and consistency:
· Variable spin times and speeds allow separation of components through centrifugation
· The agitate mode washes desired cell components with a choice of solutions
· Fluids or cells are expressed by the action of hydraulic fluid against a flexible membrane
A reliable laboratory tool, the COBE 2991 Cell Processor includes:
· Centrifuge unit with a flexible diaphragm
· Hydraulic system
· Operator panel with program board
· 5 pinch valves
· Red cell detector
· Secondary control panel
· Centrifuge cover interlock latch system
Achieving results through automation:
Automated cell processing with the COBE 2991 Cell Processor provides a high level of control for reproducible results:
· Three operations per cycle (start/spin, supernatant-out, agitate/wash-in)
· Precise programming of variable spin times adds automated accuracy and time-savings
· Programmable memory stores up to 10 protocols, with the ability to make changes during procedures for increased flexibility
· Three stop options: call the operator, or end the packed cells and re-suspended options
Separating with centrifugal technology:
· Separation of product components based on specific gravities
· Removal and/or collection of desired fraction
· Addition and agitation of wash solutions to remove unwanted cells, debris and fluids
