Abstract: The disclosure relates to a cell processing unit for cell and gene therapy manufacture comprising a housing defining an enclosure into which a cell processing platform can be mounted, a platform mounting bracket within the housing and configured and arranged to receive and retain a cell processing platform, a drive apparatus configured and arranged to operatively engage and act upon a cell processing platform to move same with respect to the platform mounting bracket, and an actuator configured and arranged to exert a force on a container mounted into the cell processing platform to expel a contents from the container.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a cell processing container for use in one or more unit operations in cell and/or gene therapy manufacture, the container having a base section, a top section arranged substantially in parallel with the base section and a wall element arranged between the top section and the base section and defining an internal lumen of the container, in which the wall element of the cell culture container preferably is compressible with respect to the top and base section and the wall element of the cell culture container is composed of a flexible material, wherein the cell processing container comprises at least one sterile connector end configured to operatively couple with a further sterile connector end to form a sterile connector between the cell processing container and a further container to which the cell processing container is to be fluidly connected.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a cell processing platform for use in one or more unit operations in cell and/or gene therapy manufacture, the platform comprising a body portion comprising at least one fluid inlet fluidly connected to a fluid outlet, and an auxiliary container port fluidly coupled to the at least one fluid inlet of the body portion, wherein the auxiliary container port is configured and arranged to receive and sealingly engage with an auxiliary container and to fluidly connect the auxiliary container lumen with the at least one fluid inlet of the body portion, and a primary container port configured and arranged to sealingly engage with a primary container and to fluidly connect the primary container lumen with the fluid outlet of the body portion.

Abstract: A cell processing device for use in performing one or more unit processes in one or more of cell or gene therapy manufacturing, comprising a cell processing platform fluidly coupled to at least one auxiliary container and to at least one primary container, the cell processing platform comprising a body portion comprising at least one fluid inlet fluidly connected to a fluid outlet, and an auxiliary container port fluidly coupled to the at least one fluid inlet of the body portion, wherein the at least one auxiliary container is received in sealing engagement with the auxiliary container port such that the auxiliary container lumen is fluidly connected with the at least one fluid inlet of the body portion, and a primary container is received in sealingly engagement with the primary container port such that the primary container lumen is fluidly connected with the fluid outlet of the body portion.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to systems, devices and methods for at least one of cell and gene therapy manufacture. In some embodiments, a cell processing unit is provided and comprises a housing defining an enclosure into which a cell processing platform can be mounted, a platform mounting bracket within the housing and configured and arranged to receive and retain a cell processing platform, a drive apparatus configured and arranged to operatively engage and act upon a cell processing platform so as to move same with respect to the platform mounting bracket, and an actuator configured and arranged to exert a force on a container mounted into the cell processing platform so as to expel a contents from the container.
