Cell culture is an essential tool in biotechnology, such as disease modeling, drug discovery, and biopharmaceutical production. Cell harvesting is a critical step in these workflows because it directly influences the yield and viability of cells used in downstream analyses.

On a lab scale, centrifugation is the conventional, cost-effective method for cell harvesting but is often limited by low yields. Achieving higher yields requires high speeds or prolonged centrifugation, which can damage the cells, induce stress, and increase the harvesting time.

In this webinar, we will discuss the effectiveness of the µPulse-TFF system for cell harvesting. Compared to centrifugation, the µPulse yielded a significantly higher number of cells, demonstrating superior harvesting efficiency. Furthermore, it proved gentler on cells, preserving their viability and minimizing cellular stress. Moreover, unlike centrifugation, which is often constrained by limited processible volumes, the µPulse offers scalability even at the lab scale.
