Multiply Labs, a robotics company developing industry-leading automated manufacturing systems to produce individualized drugs, and Wilson Wolf, an innovative leader in cell and gene-modified cell (CGT) manufacturing technology, today announced a collaboration around the automation of Wilson Wolf’s G-Rex® bioreactors.
Current iNK differentiation protocols typically utilize xenogenic feeder cells, which could be problematic for patient safety, or they lack robustness and are highly variable in differentiation efficiency. Using animal-free small molecules and recombinant proteins, Bio-Techne developed a feeder-free differentiation process to reliably generate iNKs at scale by optimizing for CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells (iHSC) prior to downstream NK differentiation.
