Lot #1SNBTS TCAT require a digital PCR machine for the development of QA/QC release assays…AwardedRenewal

SNBTS TCAT require a digital PCR machine for the development of QA/QC release assays with as high a sensitivity as possible. The expectation from ATMP regulators is that all manufacturers should be ensuring that their product release assays offer the highest standards of safety for the end user, and that the gold standard of testing is utilised. Access to digital PCR will ensure SNBTS are prospectively placed for producing assays of the highest sensitivity and specificity for the release criteria of future ATMP products.
