Cellana is a highly innovative, cGMP validated isolator designed for all specific cell and gene therapy processes. The modularity of the isolator allows flexible integration of different laboratory devices, such as refrigerated centrifuges, CO2 incubators, closed automated systems for cell processing, into a class A aseptic environment. As an isolator for Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMPs), Cellana assures aseptic working conditions with the highest sterility. The isolator is suitable for fast transfer of biological materials in cell culture flasks, cryo vials, apheresis bags, as well as for gene editing by viral transduction and electroporating.

SKANs process experts can guide you through the development of a high quality, robust and custom Cellana isolator design solution for autologous and allogeneic therapies.

The Cellana isolator family

The Cellana product family includes the Cellana M as a compact version with modular design and short delivery time (Fig.1) and the Cellana L, which offers high flexibility and versatility with interchangeable L-flange modules (Fig.2). In cooperation with Aseptic Technologies (AT) we offer the Crystal® Cellana L1, a fill & finish product with state-of-the-art robot technology. Another product developed in cooperation with AT is the Crystal® Pure M1. This is a complete fill & finish solution, neatly combining the AT-Closed Vial® Technology and a new generation of isolator by SKAN. Find out more here: www.aseptictech.com/products/pure-m1
