Abstract
A method for automated processing of a cellular product comprising target substrate cells, the method comprising providing a separation apparatus configured to associate with a disposable sterile circuit comprising a separator in communication with the cellular product. The apparatus and disposable sterile circuit are configured to remove platelets from the cellular product to form a platelet-depleted cellular product, resuspend the platelet-depleted cellular product in media to form a resuspended platelet-depleted cellular product, receive an agent having an association with the target substrate cells of the resuspended platelet-depleted cellular product, incubate the agent with the target substrate cells over a period sufficient for the agent to bind with and/or enter the target substrate cells to form a first mixture comprising agent-target substrate cell complexes, unbound/unassociated agent, and non-target substrate cells, and remove unbound/unassociated agent to form a second mixture comprising the agent-target substrate cell complexes and non-target substrate cells.
