Numerous cellular therapy candidates are quickly progressing to clinical stage manufacturing. Advances in automated processing have substantially reduced the development efforts needed for GMP-compliant manufacturing strategies. However, many therapeutics are delayed getting into the clinic due to lack of suitable analytical methods at an appropriate level of quality.

Flow cytometry is the predominant modality in cell therapy, employed to determine incoming product quality and composition, perform in-process-control (IPC), and ensure cellular identity and purity of final drug products.

Miltenyi Biotec (Bergisch Gladbach, Germany) is now focusing efforts toward standardization and automation of analytical characterization technologies that will allow streamlined IPC/quality control of cellular therapies.

This webinar was recorded on 24 February 2021.

What will you learn?

• How a lack of suitable analytical methods at an appropriate level of quality can often delay entry into the clinic for cellular therapeutics
• The applications and utility of flow cytometry in cell therapy manufacture for IPC and release testing of cellular identity and purity
• How the standardization and automation of flow cytometry can facilitate streamlined development and ultimately, a faster path to clinical approval

Who may this interest?

• Preclinical investigators working in translational settings of adoptive cell therapies
• Commercial and academic entities running clinical trials with adoptive cell therapies
• Flow cytometry core facility managers
