Abstract: Devices and methods for sterile sampling from automated cell engineering systems are provided. Sterile sampling devices are configured to maintain sterility of a sample reservoir during intake and expulsion of fluids or other material to the sterile sampling devices. Methods provided herein employ sterile sampling devices to achieve the sterile withdrawal and sterile injection of materials and fluids to and from an automated cell engineering system.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides devices and associated methods for temperature monitoring and control in automated biological material engineering systems, including cell engineering systems. The devices and methods utilize measurement of internal temperatures in an automated system to map temperatures during the various processes carried out in the systems.

Abstract: An automated carousel and system configured for translationally moving a plurality of biological production units in unison along a vertical frame while maintaining a precise alignment of each of the biological production units relative to gravity, and simultaneously providing independent dynamic adjustment of the axial orientation of each of the plurality of biological production units relative to gravity. The automated carousel may be adapted for use with a variety of biological production units supporting cell culture and/or tissue engineering systems in various clinical and laboratory settings and provides for ergonomic use thereof.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides cell therapy production systems that can suitably be used in a patient bedside setting. Such systems allow for direct removal of a patient's blood, automated processing to produce a cell therapy, and then infusion back into the patient, without the need to remove the system from the patient's bedside. Also provided herein are systems for production of cell therapies in a bedside setting.
