Ensure Long-term Critical Reagents Supply and Assay Reproducibility

Bioassay cells are considered critical reagents for implementation in commercial release and stability. Lot-to-lot reproducibility and consistent supply of the cells are key factors that need to be addressed as part of the implementation process. Establishing dedicated 2-tiered analytical cell banks: Master Cell Bank (MCB) and a Working Cell Bank (WCB), ensures a long-term supply of consistently-manufactured lots of bioassay cells that deliver reproducible assays performance.

Confidently de-risk your biologics’ lot release strategy by establishing a dedicated analytical cell banks with Eurofins DiscoverX® for your bioassay.

Product Highlights

  • Extensively Tested – Well-characterized and QA-released banks to ensure long-term reproducibility for your bioassays implemented in lot release
  • Proven System – Dedicated, two-tiered analytical cell banks for critical reagents (bioassay cells) supply assurance
  • Long-term Storage – Two-site secure storage to ensure a continuous supply of bioassay cell lots for the lifetime of your therapeutic

Dedicated, Well-Characterized Analytical Cell Banks

It is well-recognized that the inherent variability in bioassays presents a significant challenge when implemented in a quality control (QC) environment, particularly when ensuring long-term assay reproducibility. Among other assay reagents, bioassay cells are considered critical reagents, and their lot-to-lot reproducibility and consistent supply are two focus areas that need additional attention as part of the implementation process. Establishing a dedicated MCB and WCB for manufacturing bioassay cells is a key success factor that ensures a long-term supply of consistently-manufactured lots that deliver reproducible assay performance.

Eurofins DiscoverX is an established leader in bioassay development. Our expertise is leveraged in the production and testing of well-characterized analytical cell banks to meet your assay requirements and post-market support for your biotherapeutics.
