Cell therapy developers have reached a pivotal moment where implementing a particulate control strategy is no longer optional but essential for future success. Particulate matter has long been a persistent contaminant in medicine development and manufacturing, posing significant challenges across the pharmaceutical industry. While traditional pharmaceuticals have developed methods to address and manage particulate contamination, the advancement of cell therapies and single-use systems introduces a new level of complexity, necessitating innovative strategies to control and remediate particles.
The Challenge of Particulate Matter in Cell Therapies
Cellular therapeutics rely on cells as the active ingredients for treating various diseases. These cells, by definition, are particulates, making the task of particulate control uniquely challenging. Unlike traditional pharmaceuticals, where particulates can often be visually detected and removed, the cellular material in cell therapies can obscure the detection of other particles during visual inspections. This complexity is further compounded by the fact that many companies are not adequately equipped to deal with the intricacies of particulate matter in cell therapies.
The Need for Advanced Analytical Methods
The pharmaceutical industry is required to develop innovative strategies and tools that can effectively detect, isolate, and characterize particulate matter in cell therapies to ensure product quality and patient safety, and not all companies have the capability to apply advanced analytical methods to isolate and characterize particulate matter in their cellular therapies. This gap underscores the importance of specialized laboratories like Gateway Analytical that can offer the necessary expertise and technology.
