Achieve Efficiency And Quality In Cell Therapy Manufacturing

Cell and Gene Therapy (CGT) is an exciting branch of medicine that is focused on regrowth, repair and replacement of damaged cells or tissues. This exciting era of "living drugs" also brings complexities and challenges. This is especially true since the field of cell and gene therapies is in the early stages of development. Cell production and formulation processes are often performed in research laboratories, and typically include many labor-intensive tasks. An enormous amount of work is performed by hand.

Utilizing products and services that automate and improve efficiency throughout the cell therapy cycle is key to success in cell therapy manufacturing. This new, emerging field of medicine need to find solutions that enable automation, reduce manual steps, and implement standard procedures.

In this blog we explore how to automate and standardize cell product manufacturing processes to solve the problems posed by manual workflows. The cycle includes cell collection at a hospital, manufacture of cellular product at a production facility, formulation/filling (termed "fill and finish") of bags with cellular product, freezing the product and transporting frozen product back to the hospital for administration to the patient.
