Sepax-2 cell processing device: a study assessing reproducibility of concentrating thawed hematopoietic progenitor cells.

Background: Autologous hematopoietic progenitor cell (HPC) transplantation is currently the standard of care for a fraction of patients with newly diagnosed myelomas and relapsed or refractory lymphomas. After high-dose chemotherapy, cryopreserved HPC are either infused directly after bedside thawing or washed and concentrated before infusion. We previously reported on the comparability of washing/concentrating HPC post-thaw vs.
