Abstract: In biosciences and related fields, it can be useful to study cells in isolation so that cells having unique and desirable properties can be identified within a heterogenous mixture of cells. Processes and methods disclosed herein provide for encapsulating cells within a microfluidic device and assaying the encapsulated cells. Encapsulation can, among othere benefits, facilitate analyses of cells that generate secretions of interest which would otherwise rapidly diffuse away or mix with the secretions of other cells.

Abstract: Cartridge for manufacturing a population of cells suitable for formulation as a cellular therapeutic are disclosed herein, along with systems for operating the cartridges and performing methods to generate the population of cells suitable for formulation as a cellular therapeutic. The population of cells suitable for formulation as a cellular therapeutic can be T-cells, including CAR T-cells. The systems and methods can be largely automated.

Abstract: Cartridges for manufacturing a population of cells suitable for formulation as a cellular therapeutic are disclosed herein, along with systems and instruments for operating the cartridges and performing methods to generate the population of cells suitable for formulation as a cellular therapeutic. The population of cells suitable for formulation as a cellular therapeutic can be immunological cells, such as T lymphocytes, including endogenous T cells (ETCs), tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), CAR T-cells, TCR engineered T-cells, or otherwise engineered T-cells. The systems and methods can be largely automated.
