Center for Cell and Gene Therapy
Equipment
We manufacture and test cell and gene therapies in a facility built for this purpose. Our equipment is designed to keep products sterile, to handle living cells safely, and to support reliable quality control. We invest in well-maintained, qualified equipment so that every product is made and tested under controlled, reproducible conditions. Below you will find an overview of the main groups of equipment we use.

Equipment overview
Our equipment is organized into groups that follow the steps of manufacturing and testing a cell or gene therapy. Aseptic processing equipment keeps products sterile while they are being handled. Cell processing equipment is used to separate, wash, and prepare cells. Cryopreservation and storage equipment keeps cells and products at the correct, monitored temperatures. Quality control equipment is used to test products. Environmental monitoring equipment continuously checks the cleanroom conditions. All equipment is qualified and maintained under our quality management system.
Aseptic processing
- Biological safety cabinets — provide a sterile, protected workspace for handling cells and open products.
- Bioreactors — fully enclosed units that keep products sterile and minimizing open handlings.
Cryopreservation and storage
- Controlled-rate freezers — cool cell products slowly and reproducibly to protect them during freezing.
- Cryogenic and cold storage — store cells and products at controlled, continuously monitored temperatures.
Quality control and analytics
- PCR systems (qPCR, dPCR) — test products for identity, potency, and absence of contaminants.
- Flow cytometers — measure and characterize cells to confirm product identity and quality.
Environmental monitoring
- Particle counters — measure airborne particles to confirm cleanroom air quality.
- Environmental monitoring systems — continuously track conditions such as air quality in the cleanrooms.
