Cell Therapy Manufacturing and Quality Control

Professional cGMP manufacturing cell and gene therapy products and viral vectors, using established production platforms and validated quality control methods. Our integrated and flexible approach ensures reliability, compliance, and scalability from clinical to commercial stages across diverse cell types and indications — all under one roof. 

 

Tailored Manufacturing
Approaches


  • Manufacturing of autologous and allogeneic CGT products, adaptable to T cells, NKs, DCs, iPSCs or MSCs 

  • Support for various starting materials including apheresis, whole blood, and tumor tissue 

  • Cryopreservation capabilities of drug substance (DS), drug product (DP), and QC samples 

  • Customizable processes to meet clinical or commercial needs 


Benefit:
Clients gain flexibility and scalability through our CDMO-CRO integration without compromising compliance or quality.

Integrated cGMP QC of Cell Safety, Sterility & Identity 


  • In-house QC testing using cell-based, microbiological and molecular methods 

  • Rapid sterility testing (BACTEC, membrane filtration) 

  • Safety monitoring for RCR/RCL, Mycoplasma (qPCR), endotoxins (LAL, Endosafe) 

  • Identity testing: CAR Expression (Flow Cytometry), VCN quantification (dPCR) 

  • Routine cell count, concentration, and viability via NC200 and Vicell platforms 


Benefit:
Faster turnaround times and built-in assurance of safety and identity. 

Client-Centric Flexibility 


  • Transparent Person-in-Plant access available 

  • Independent storage systems for added security 

  • Full infrastructure for uninterrupted operations 


Benefit:
Transparency, control, and peace of mind throughout the manufacturing process.

Cell Banking & Labeling 


  • Preparation and characterization of Master Cell Banks (MCB) and Working Cell Banks (WCB) – research-grade and GMP-grade 

  • GxP-compliant labeling and re-labeling services aligned with global clinical standards 


Benefit:
Secure, traceable, and compliant handling of critical materials.

Integrated cGMP QC of Cell Purity, Potency & Stability 


  • In-house QC testing for functional potency: T-cell activation, killing assays, cytokine release 

  • ELISA testing for process‑related impurities: BSA, benzonase, host‑cell proteins 

  • Residual plasmid and physicochemical analysis: pH, osmolality, lactate, glucose, appearance 

  • Raw material testing and stability studies covering the full product lifecycle 

  • Backup systems for all critical materials and outsourced tests  


Benefit:
Reduced dependency on external labs and a robust path to batch release.
