In recent years, Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMPs) have evolved into a promising and highly hoped-for medical approach to cure a broad spectrum of diseases, ranging from cancer to immunological disorders and rare diseases.
From development, collection, manufacturing, and infusion back into the patient, the journey of a cell therapy requires intricate logistics to maintain product integrity and patient safety. Challenges and requirements can vary according to the specific type of therapy, and a deep understanding of the end-to-end workflow is critical.
Following harvest from the patient, cells can either be shipped fresh (2ºc to 8ºc) or cryopreserved and stored for later use.
