Agilent Technologies Inc Stock Price, News & Analysis

Agilent Technologies (NYSE: A) has announced its contribution to the FDA approval of AUCATZYL®, a CAR T therapy developed by Autolus Therapeutics. The company's xCELLigence Real-Time Cell Analysis (RTCA) technology played a important role in developing and validating the therapy's potency assay.

The xCELLigence RTCA platform provides continuous, real-time monitoring of cell behavior without labels or dyes, using electrical impedance to measure cell numbers, viability, and morphology. This technology offers advantages over traditional endpoint assays by enabling more accurate and timely decision-making in drug development.

Agilent and Autolus will present their findings at the 2025 Hybrid US Bioassay Conference in Tucson, Arizona, discussing lessons learned in CAR T Cell Product Potency Measurement.
