CENTRIFUGE APPARATUS, CENTRIFUGE TUBE AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATED CELL PREPARATION

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a centrifuge apparatus, centrifuge tube and method for an automated cell preparation.SOLUTION: An automated method for monitoring an automated centrifuge apparatus during a cell preparation procedure, comprises the steps of: conducting a set of status checks during the cell preparation procedure, in which the status checks relate to a plurality of centrifuge tubes installable at a rotor assembly of the automated centrifuge apparatus; monitoring an index location at the automated centrifuge apparatus during the cell preparation procedure with a sensing module; determining whether individual status checks in the set of status checks are satisfied based on a status of individual centrifuge tubes of the plurality of centrifuge tubes positionable at the index location; and indicating a fault condition in response to a determination that at least one of the status checks in the set of status checks is not satisfied.
