Large-scale transfection using the 4D-Nucleofector® LV Unit PRO - experience the next generation 4D-Nucleofector® LV Unit PRO which comes with several new features and can be easily implemented into a GMP manufacturing process:
- Optimized cartridge design for improved performance for CRISPR-based knock-out/in or transposition
- Fixed-volume cartridge with different filling volumes between 0.5 and 2 mL and new port for easy loading and clearing
- Flow-through cartridge with more robust sample processing
- Cartridge insertion support and visual acknowledgement
Like its predecessor, the first generation 4D-Nucleofector® LV Unit, the LV Unit PRO comes with two cartridge types:
The fixed-volume cartridge is suited for different filling volumes (0.5 mL, 1 mL, 1.5 mL and 2 mL). This can be manually loaded with sample via an injection port using a pipette.
The flow-through cartridge with flexible volumes up to 20 mL is automatically filled via our 4D-Nucleofector® LV Reservoirs (or bags). The cartridge is equipped with PVC tubing which can be connected to upstream and downstream equipment via manual Luer connection (during early process development) or sterile welding (for GMP manufacturing).
Both are available as research-grade and GMP-grade version (GMP planned for Q4-2025) and are used in combination with the corresponding research-grade or GMP-grade P3 Primary Cell Nucleofector® Solution LV Sets.
Transfection protocols can be established in smaller scale using the 4D-Nucleofector® X Unit and subsequently transferred to the LV Unit PRO with only a small re-optimization in 500 μL volume.
Use as manufacturing equipment in a GMP environment - accompanied by GMP grade TheraPEAK® Consumables (planned for Q4-2025), a 21CFR part 11 compliant software and IQOQ services, the LV Unit PRO is suited to quickly translate research results into a GMP compliant manufacturing process.
