Apheresis & Cell-Processing Systems
Automated machines that separate blood into components in a closed circuit: source-plasma collection, platelet/RBC apheresis, and — critically — the leukapheresis and cell-washing/selection steps that start autologous cell therapies (CAR-T). Concentrated among Terumo BCT (Spectra Optia, Trima), Fresenius Kabi, and Haemonetics. The single-use disposable kits are the recurring chokepoint.
