beartrap, this is the new & improved Flaskworks Eden system that is considerably larger than the previous version that Lykiri found a couple years ago. This latest version has multiple actuators that can shake and spin the cartridge containing the cells, and appears to have the ability to use hydraulic pressure to remove the cells from the bottom of the cartridge. This was the major obstacle (automated removal of the sticky cells from the culture vessel without damaging them or using reagents) that proved to be extremely difficult to overcome.

This patent also displays the results of some of the bioassays (identity, purity, etc.) for the final product to prove that the automated procedure can duplicate (and actually improve) the results of the manual method of production.

I’m guessing that this is the version that they hired a contractor to manufacture for initial automated commercial production.

Shoutout to @HenryMuney for finding and posting this!

BTW- StockFollower’s AI summary is not accurate and is misleading, which shows the immense limits of this AI technology. For example, Eden does not “optimize the production of genetically modified immune cells, such as CAR T cells.”
