In Conclusion Collecting blood-based cellular products in a manner that minimizes variability brings a higher degree of reproducibility to the research project or manufacturing effort Quality-based controls such as standardized SOPs, staff training and competency assessments, equipment management, and monitoring of quality indicators reduce this variability Relationships with other best in class organizations allows for consistent product development and collaborations focused in improving the cell manufacturing process. Use of cgmp, serum-free, protein-free biopreservation media such as HypoThermosol and CryoStor shows great promise to enable worldwide shipment of fresh or frozen cellular products, extending shelf-life of cell therapy products. HemaCare has the knowledge, experience, and capability to provide total apheresis, room temperature to cold chain, and cryopreservation and storage solution Complete in-house control of the entire process from collection to final destination Just-in-time delivery of viable, high quality apheresis materials to any location globally The only supplier with true, validated, global reach 27
