SYSTEM OVERVIEW

The FerroBio process follows three steps: (1) an incubation step in which anti-CD34-functionalized magnetic beads bind to CD34+ cells in unmodified cord blood; (2) a step in which the blood flows through a cartridge on the FerroBioTM magnetic separator, the target cells are held within the cartridge via attraction to an external magnet, and the suspension is washed; and (3) an optional step in which the isolated cells are freed from the magnetic beads, leaving behind pure CD34+ cells with ligand-free surface antigen (if desired).

BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS

Higher throughput

  • One cartridge is used to process an entire Cord Blood Unit
  • All volumes of cord blood can be accommodated with no up-front manipulation
  • Even lower cell count units can be processed

Faster processing time

  • Start-to-finish processing takes 2 hours
  • Up to 3X more cord blood units can be processed/day
  • Multiple units can be processed at once

Fewer resource demands

  • Simplified process can be performed with fewer operators
  • Magnetic Separation process does not require a biosafety cabinet
  • Efficiently process more units per day, decreasing additional overhead
