Publication number: 20170198303Abstract: The systems and methods are directed to leveraging the channel geometry and configuration to overcome diffusion limitations of current transduction systems. The methods may include a method of transducing target cells using a device. The device may include at least one continuous channel. The method may include delivering target cells and viral vectors into a transduction region of the channel through a first inlet/outlet simultaneously and/or consecutively when one or more additional inlets/outlets that are located in a region of the channel downstream of the transduction are closed. After transducing for some incubation time, a flushing solution may be delivered through one or more of the additional inlets/outlets. The method may include collecting transduced cells after the transducing incubation time and the delivering of the flushing solution.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 5, 2016Publication date: July 13, 2017Inventors: Reginald Tran, Wilbur Lam, David Myers, Christopher Doering, Harold Spencer
