Microbubble-based technology enables magnetic bead-free cell selection for cell therapy research and development Bracco Imaging, a global pharmaceutical company that develops, manufactures, and markets innovative healthcare solutions, today announced the expansion of its BubbleGen™ cell selection portfolio with the launch of the BubbleGen CD3+ T Cell Selection Kit.

New Visa Research Finds Consumer Trust is Accelerating the Path to Agentic Commerce9.9.2026 13:00:00 CEST | Press release
