GMP Cell Banking

WuXi AppTec maintains seven individually monitored GMP cell banking suites. The cell bank facility at WuXi AppTec offers clients an opportunity to manufacture cell banks grown to client specifications, under exacting standards and QA oversight, in a highly monitored, secure and controlled environment. All work is performed in ultra-clean tissue culture suites by renowned, highly skilled personnel.

Many different species of mammalian or insect cell banks - ranging in size from 10 to 1200 viais - can be manufactured GMP using a variety of media types. Both adherent and suspension cells can be grown using cell culture methods that include T-flasks, cell factories, roller bottles and shaker and spinner flasks.

All cell banks are strictly segregated and produced on a campaign basis (i.e. one cell bank is produced within each suite at a time). Validated changeover and cleaning procedures, requiring Quality Assurance release of each suite prior to use, ensure cell line integrity and minimize adverse events and contamination.
