With the growth of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapies comes the realization across the industry that CAR-T cell therapy development is a complex process requiring standardization, regulation, and meticulous quality control to generate safe and effective therapies. In addition, when developing CAR-T cells, biomanufacturers can have their choice of cell sources and bioprocesses, which can lead to variability in success as well as openings for inefficiency and waste. Analytical tools such as droplet digital polymerase chain reaction (ddPCR), a technology platform used to quantify nucleic acids, can support CAR-T cell manufacturers in developing successful CAR-T cell products.
