AI Has Arrived In Biotech CMC Amid Patchwork Governance

AI is surfacing within regulatory and CMC workflows at a vigorous pace. Unfortunately, in small and midsize biotechs, it's happening faster than governance can keep up.

Custom Media Manufacturing: Maximum Flexibility, Minimum Risk

Watch how tailored media solutions and scalable manufacturing practices support efficient bioprocess development, ensuring your production lines remain reliable and ready for future demands.

Brownfield Facilities, New Demands: Optimizing Cold Chain Capacity

Legacy facilities weren't built for today's cold chain complexity. How are CDMOs squeezing more capacity from fixed footprints without breaking what already works?

The Progress And Manufacturing Challenges Of MSCs

Understand the manufacturing challenges where rapid cell expansion often conflicts with therapeutic secretion profiles, requiring sophisticated quality control and donor selection strategies.

12-Day Stability Data For Supplemented T-Cell Media With CTGrade GMP Cytokines

Discover how T-cell culture media supplemented with key cytokines can maintain full functionality and support robust expansion for up to 12 days at room temperature.

Laminar And Turbulent Mixing Techniques For LNP Formulations Scale Up

Explore the critical factors in scaling up lipid nanoparticle (LNP) formulation, comparing the advantages and limitations of both laminar (microfluidic) and turbulent (tee and jet) mixing technologies.

Upstream Process Scaling Decisions For Modern Gene Therapies

It's important to evaluate your starting point when scaling an upstream process. Review key considerations for deciding between adherent and suspension cells to optimize your gene therapy process.

Designing Successful Viral Clearance Studies

Examine protocols for scaling down process steps, spiking viruses into intermediates, and measuring clearance to ensure regulatory compliance and safety during therapeutic manufacturing.

Contamination Control Strategies In Low Bioburden Manufacturing

Annex 1’s updated CCS framework calls for a holistic contamination strategy. Learn how manufacturers can apply it to non-sterile sites and legacy facilities using tailored risk-based approaches.

Maximizing MSC Yield And Quality: A Comparative Media Study

Maximize mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) expansion with a simplified culture process. New data demonstrates a high-performance, xeno-free media that eliminates the need for coatings or media exchanges.

A Novel Cell Selective Lentiviral Platform For CAR-T Engineering

Targeted lentiviral vectors enable rapid CAR‑T cell generation without extensive ex vivo manipulation. See how this approach demonstrates efficient in vitro and in vivo performance.
