Process steps in the production of cell and gene therapies
How we support you

The manufacturing of cell and gene therapies involves numerous individual process steps. As well as the upstream processes like cell selection, genetic modification and cell expansion, there are downstream processes like purification and final formulation.
Your production platform from Optima Pharma allows you to map and reliably execute all the significant process steps. The operators and the product are always kept apart by proven isolator technology. The modular design allows you to customize your processes within the production isolator, gives you the option to successfully scale-out processes, and provides the option of integrating external equipment into your production process.

Process steps in the filling of cell and gene therapies
How we support you


- Vial feeding
- Here, special attention is paid to meet the requirements for processing specific vials for cryopreservation.

- Filling of the objects
- We offer you the right product specific filling and dosing technology.
- Careful, precise product handling by filling and dosing systems that are optimally matched to suit the product characteristics.
- Maximization of product yield as a result of 100 % in-process controls and product saving features

- The vials are then closed (stoppering and crimping).
- Product-saving features are used for re-stoppering and re-capping.

- Finishing the filled vials
- Here, the specific requirements of BSL 2, e.g. external decontamination of the vials, can also be accommodated.
- Other options: re-nesting, magazining and running vials
