Sony: New Life Science Product: Cell Analyzer
-From research to cell drug manufacturing “CGX10”-
Sony:
Perform cell-level analysis, such as developing cell analyzers,
We are developing a life science business for cutting-edge medical research.
Cell isolation system
“CGX10”
January 26,
In the fall, we will release the closed-type cell isolation system “CGX10” that sorts newly targeted cells at high speed and with high accuracy.
Cellular immunotherapy:
Recently, cell immunotherapy is attracting attention as a new treatment method for cancer and autoimmune diseases.
“CGX10” sorts cells:
In the production of cell drugs necessary for this treatment method, there is an increasing demand for separating cells with high accuracy and high purity.
Utilizing “CGX10” in cell drug manufacturing:
Traditional products were for basic research at universities and pharmaceutical companies.
This product:
Utilization for cell drug manufacturing process development,
Subsequent manufacturing control of pharmaceutical products,
It is possible to develop into cell production that meets quality control standards.
Features of “CGX10”:
It differs from the traditional method of sorting cells in an open space.
Because it can be done in a closed space that does not touch the outside air
While maintaining sterility
It can be designed so that cells can be separated.
You can operate the touch panel while wearing gloves.
Performance of “CGX10”:
Irradiate 4 lasers (405nm / 488nm / 561nm / 638nm).
Cell type identification:
To identify the resulting cell type
Based on 10 parameters (features)
Classify large numbers of cells.
For an analysis processing speed of 15,000 pieces per second,
Achieves cell separation purity with high accuracy of 97%.
Cell sorting principle:
By properly controlling the liquid,
It can be expected to maintain a high survival rate by minimizing cell damage.
This will result in
Contributes to the efficiency of the culture process after cell separation and the manufacturing process of cell drugs.
Since the consumables of this machine are disposable,
The tubing kit can be used properly for each patient to prevent mutual contamination of specimens.

Sony Introduces New Closed Cell Isolation System CGX10 for use in Production of Advanced Cell Therapy Products
Sony Corporation
today introduced a new Cell Isolation System, CGX10, which sorts cells at high speed and high purity in a closed system.
The CGX10’s design
enables sorting of cells in a manner that is designed to be closed off from the outside environment,
making it possible to analyze and isolate cells while maintaining a sterile state. This is especially important in fields
such as cell-based immunotherapy, which has been gaining recognition as a treatment for cancer and autoimmune disorders.
To produce the cell therapies necessary for this treatment,
there is an increasing demand for isolating cells with high purity and high viability in a sterile manner.
It is also expected that
this product could be utilized in research for developing cell-based products for fields such as cell therapy and regenerative medicine.It can also contribute
to the development of GMP compliant manufacturing processes for cellular products.By introducing CGX10,
Sony’s Life Science businesswill expand from research applications to the field of cell therapies’ development and manufacturing, further contributing to the advancement of cell therapy.
