Healthy and functional cells from discovery
to manufacturing
We enable transformative therapies with our patent-pending continuous Flowfect® cell engineering platforms. The non-viral Flowfect® technology is a fast, scalable, and gentle process that yields billions of high-quality engineered cells in minutes while maintaining cell health and function.

KYTOPEN enables cell engineering from discovery to manufacturing
Technology
We are transforming cell engineering
The Flowfect® technology combines continuous fluid flow with electric fields for high efficiency delivery of payloads such as mRNA, DNA, and CRISPR Cas9 RNP to primary cells. By carefully synchronizing the pulse delivery with the fluid flow we have eliminated the harmful effects of traditional transfection via static electroporation. Our ex vivo cell engineering platform is compatible with primary cells being developed for immuno-oncology and gene editing applications.
PRESERVED VIABILITY & FUNCTIONALITY
Our platform allows you to safely engineer your cells with minimal impact to their overall health and function. High-quality engineered cell products upfront will ultimate translate into faster cell therapy access for patients.


AUTOMATED
