Strain Intake & Cell Banking
Every project starts with taking new strains into Bacthera’s facility. Not only does our team perform a detailed analysis and characterization of the strains, they also act as a core function to ensure that our staff can perform all project work safely and in accordance with occupational and environmental regulations. Once identity and safety have been proven, our teams transfer customer cell banks into our facilities and provide a smooth transition of the strains into the GMP production.
Bacthera’s Strain Intake & Cell Banking teams are essential for Bacthera’s quality and EHS strategy. To protect our employees and our customer’s products within our facilities, our teams are conducting an in-depth identification and risk assessment of each new strain that shall enter our production facilities. In close collaboration with our customers, we transfer customer’s cell banks into our facility and guarantee a smooth transition into the world of GMP production. This step is supported by the production of high quality, GMP compliant master and working cell banks, including testing and characterization to release for drug substance production.
