We aim to meet quality and regulatory standards and to exceed customer expectations in all that we do. At Thermo Fisher Scientific, we welcome customer and supplier audits as a way to ensure our quality standards meet the expectations and ever-changing needs of our customers.

Quality control testing–validated processes and test methods

All of our CTS products meet the minimum quality control requirements as outlined in USP <1043> (ancillary materials for cell, gene, and tissue-engineered products) and Ph. EUR 5.2.12 (raw materials of biological origin for the production of cell-based and gene therapy medicinal products).
 

Gibco Cell Therapy Systems (CTS) media and reagents undergo extensive QC testing following pharmacopeia test methods where possible. Our routine QC on all CTS reagents includes:

  • Sterility (for aseptic products only) or Bioburden Testing
  • Mycoplasma
  • Performance testing based on the intended use
  • Real time stability with meaningful stability indicating tests
     

Our biological origin raw material traceability, quality control testing and test method references are detailed on our Certificates of Analysis and Origin. These documents are designed to enable risk assessment of CTS products for use in clinical manufacturing. All CTS products have SDS available.
