Spectra Optia
Spectra Optia® Therapeutic Apheresis System
The Spectra Optia system is an industry-leading therapeutic apheresis, cell processing and cell collection platform. The system allows operators to spend more time focusing on patient care. This advanced system uses continuous-flow centrifugation and optical detection technology, providing operators the ability to perform a wide variety of apheresis procedures on a single platform.
