Problem
Engineering immune cells for cell therapies often relies on viral transduction or electroporation, which can be inefficient, damage cells, and raise safety concerns. These methods can limit the scalability and effectiveness of cell therapy development and manufacturing.
Solution
Indee Labs offers Hydropore™, a non-viral microfluidic technology that delivers molecules, nucleic acids, and gene-editing complexes to immune cells. Hydropore™ uses microfluidic vortex shedding to rapidly deliver payloads to cells, yielding millions to billions of high-quality cells while preserving cell viability and function. The technology bypasses the limitations of viral transduction and electroporation, accelerating cell therapy research from discovery to manufacturing.
Target Audience
The primary users are researchers and manufacturers in the field of engineered cell therapies, particularly those working with T-cell immunotherapies.
