Cell-Based Medicinal Products

Cell-Based Medicinal Products are complex and require state-of-the-art analytical methodologies to evaluate their quality, safety and efficacy. Quality Assistance provides you with the scientific and technical support to develop and/or optimise these methods for use in a GxP-regulated environment.

Throughout non-clinical and clinical development, our experts provide you with the customised solutions in terms of analytical protocols and innovative technologies to help you move your product from discovery to the market place.

Your analytical partner providing:

  • customised solutions in terms of analytical protocols and innovative technologies throughout non-clinical and clinical development

  • a full range of equipment in Cell Biology, Biochemistry, Chromatography, Mass Spectrometry, Pharmaceutical Technologies and Microbiology, to meet all the challenges of developing and validating methods

  • regulatory, scientific and technical excellence with a problem-solving approach

  • compliance with all applicable EMA, FDA and ICH regulations

  • GMP, GLP, GCLP/GCP environment
