Preparing cell samples is an essential part of achieving success in cell and gene therapy manufacturing. Achieving high-quality results requires that samples be pure, with high viability and free of any damage caused by harsh retrieval techniques. Current cell isolation techniques can be time-consuming and cause stress to cell samples, which is why there is … Continued
Contract Development Manufacturing Organization (CDMO) partnerships are on the rise due to an increased demand for cell therapies and the limited availability of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) approved manufacturing facilities and other resources. Pharmaceutical & biotechnology companies are needing to outsource their product development and manufacturing in order to try to meet these demands, even … Continued
Cell separation is an essential part of the manufacturing process for CGT cell therapies like CAR-T. To get the best results, cell samples must be purified and prepared properly. Purifying cells is achieved by a different approaches (positive selection, negative selection, etc.) which all can use different methodologies to accomplish their goals. Some of the … Continued

The use of Contract Development and Manufacturing Organizations (CDMO) services has risen in recent years due to challenges associated with cell manufacturing. Pharmaceutical companies derive many benefits from working with an experienced CDMO partner who can help navigate the process of scaling and commercializing a product, and this practice is becoming increasingly popular. In addition, … Continued
A key element of all cell and gene therapies (CGTs) is cryopreservation, the controlled freezing of cell samples. In cell therapy manufacturing, cell samples are collected and stored for future use, often for decades, so the proper collection, cryopreservation and retrieval of these samples is essential for safe and effective CGTs. In addition, it’s also … Continued
