Sumario:Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products are promising drugs for patients in therapeutic impasses. Their complex fabrication process implies regular quality controls to monitor cell concentration. Among the different methods available, optical techniques offer several advantages. Our study aims to measure cell concentration in real time in a potential closed-loop environment using white light spectroscopy and to test the possibility of simultaneously measuring concentrations of several species. By analyzing the shapes of the absorption spectra, this system allowed the quantification of T-cells with an accuracy of about 3% during 30 h of cultivation monitoring and 26 h of doubling time, coherent with what is expected for normal cell culture. Moreover, our system permitted concentration measurements for two species in reconstructed co-cultures of T-cells and Candida albicans yeasts. This method can now be applied to any single or co-culture, it allows real-time monitoring, and can be easily integrated into a closed system.
