Abstract

The present disclosure relates to cell processing techniques. By way of example, a cell processing system may include a plurality of sample processing devices configured to process patient samples and a plurality of readers respectively associated with the plurality of sample processing devices, wherein each reader is configured to read information from tracking devices associated with respective patient samples. The system may also include a controller that uses information from the readers to provide an estimated completion time for a patient sample based on availability of the sample processing devices.
