Our technology Solupore®

Current non-viral gene delivery technologies for cell therapy can negatively impact cell quality. This impact on cell health results in reduced proliferative capacity and cell function following the delivery of cargo, particularly in complex editing workflows. By enhancing cell quality, Solupore has the potential to improve in vitro and in vivo cell function, enabling the manufacture of next-generation gene-modified cell therapies.

Manufacturing Challenges

Problem

Solution – Solupore®

Cell health & phenotype

Electroporation unintentionally activates and exhaust cells, negatively impacting cell viability

Younger memory phenotype and reduced apoptosis leading to improved proliferative capacity

Cell function

Poor cell function post editing negatively impacts clinical efficacy, safety, and tumor killing capability

Due to improved cell health and proliferative capacity, T cells are highly functional in vitro and in vivo

Complex gene-editing

Constraints around processing time, inflexibility and yield for sequential edits

Improved cell heath and function enable the complex editing needed for the next generation of cell therapies

Ease of adoption and use

Time consuming to scale up and cell processing requires highly skilled operators with batch-to-batch variability

Automated and closed system with minimal cell processing, flexible input parameters and ease of use

Cost of Goods

Multiple platforms and open steps

Cells processed within one closed device
