The document provides guidance on harvesting cells grown on BIONOC II carriers. BIONOC II carriers are made of multiple layers of PET fibers that form a mesh-like structure for cell growth. Cells grow along and between the fibers and produce extracellular matrix (ECM). To harvest cells, the ECM must be fully digested using enzymatic treatment and tapping or agitation of the carriers to generate a counterforce that releases the cells from the fibers and ECM. A multi-step process including washing, trypsinization, tapping, and repeating is recommended to efficiently harvest the cells.
