AVATAR
Odyssey

The World’s Most Advanced

Cell Incubation System


FROM RESEARCH SCALE TO CLINICAL SCALE AVATAR HAS YOU COVERED

The AVATAR Odyssey stands apart from other cell culture systems. Using precise control of hyperbaric pressure and oxygen levels, therapeutic immune cells are rewired with:

improved potency and persistence

increased expansion

higher transduction efficiency

The AVATAR product family uses the HYPERPRESS incubation technology, allowing for direct transfer from process development to GMP manufacturing

2X More Potent Cells

Significant increase
in CAR T expansion observed in AVATAR

By growing cells under an optimized environment, the AVATAR Odyssey increases the expansion of challenging patient-derived cells.

30% Increased Transduction

Significant increase
in CAR+ cell percentage when expanded in AVATAR

Viral transduction under pressurized culture conditions increases efficiency, lowering vector cost and enhancing potency.

2X Enhanced Immunometabolism

Only AVATAR Odyssey lets you regulate and alter both the atmospheric pressure and oxygen concentration to what’s optimal for your cell type and research

Modulation of pressure & oxygen has profound effects on cell homeostasis

avatar hypoxia and pressure venn diagram

Oxygen and pressure have distinct physiological effects and both play important but independent roles in the human microenvironment. Under hypoxic and pressurized culturing conditions, changes are seen in cell morphology, gene and protein expression. Modulation of atmospheric pressure affects the mechanobiology of cell function during culture, and has profound effects on cell homeostasis and metabolism

Study how cells respond under physiological culture conditions
