HERON
Cell therapies should be easy
Novel cell-therapy treatments are limited by high costs and low reproducibility manufacturing. To fill the need for automated and optimal bioprocesses taking place in a closed system, Antleron and OSPIN cell therapy experts have joined forces under the umbrella of Heron. This holistic bioprocessing platform combines innovative technologies and solutions developed by both companies.


Hardware
An expert in automation, closed system bioreactors, and web-based process control.

Bioprocessing
An expert on living therapies with a specialization in ATMP risk-analysis, bioprocess optimization, and in-house operational testing.

Heron
The most cost-efficient, versatile, and reproducible take on cell therapy manufacturing yet.
Unrivaled utility
Take advantage of the Heron tool set to enhance your ATMP development

Reduced risk
De-risk your ATMP development process via data-driven assessments powered by the CbD® technology.

Closed system
A closed environment for your cells. Reduce costs and contaminations associated with manual, open processes.

Web-app control

Custom design
Design a fully customized solution that adapts to your processes not vice-versa.
Unlock the potential of your ATMP product
- Bioprocess design
- Prototype development
- Functional validation


Bioprocess design
-
Your cell-based process is analyzed through the CbD® technology and optimizations are suggested.
-
Based on the assessment, a strategy to automate the whole process in a closed system is developed.
Prototype development
-
Using 3D simulation and the process specifications outlined in the previous step, custom 3D components are manufactured to accommodate your ATMP process.
-
Your process is implemented in a completely custom built reactor designed for your bioprocess.


Functional validation
-
A system integrating the designed operational units is developed and your bioprocess is applied to the machine.
-
The cell-culture process is thoroughly tested in the in-house laboratory to ensure the device lives up to the Heron standard.
