• Ability to create and store up to 10 custom protocols
• Expanded input and output volumes
• Automated use of 2 wash solutions

“Since Lovo’s market introduction in 2014, our customers have found it useful for a broad spectrum of applications and cell products. The new features and usability enhancements in Lovo 2.0 are a direct result of our customers’ requests to expand its use even further,” said Daryl Calhoun, vice president of Automated Blood Technologies at Fresenius Kabi. “Cell therapy is a rapidly evolving field, and Fresenius Kabi is committed to delivering enhancements consistent with our customers’ changing needs.”
