Since winning with Lynfinity LAB in 2022, INJECTA in 2023, and KryoAir in 2024, this year’s edition of Interphex NY saw TILE-X triumph in the Biotech Innovation Award category. This category “acknowledges an exhibitor’s innovative application to a given product or service that not only addresses an industry need, but does so in such a way as to exceed previous standards or applications—thereby making the given process simpler, smoother, or easier to navigate”.
Fully gloveless processing for high-value products
TILE-X represents a ground-breaking approach to the production of high-value, small-batch products for special therapies, including cell & gene therapies, biological products and stem cell-based drugs. The technology developed by IMA Life exploits the power of magnetic levitation for component transport. Unlike conventional robotic systems that rely on mechanical movements and conveyor belts, TILE-Xuses floating shuttles or movers to execute precise processing trajectories for Ready-To-Use components. Totally gloveless, TILE-X is also a modular concept designed to handle small and micro-batches while providing maximum operational flexibility. Each independent isolator module constituting TILE-X is equipped with its own ventilation system, pressure regulation, and filtration. This avoids depending on complex and traditional HVAC systems, thereby meeting cell & gene and advanced biological drug processing requirements.
