QUALITY IS A GIVEN

When you’re part of a team bringing cell therapies to market, access to high-quality human cellular material is critical. You have many options for quality leukopaks for the research phase of allogeneic cell therapy product development, but what happens when it’s time to transition to GMP compliant products for clinical use? Or you need to scale up?

Not only do we have a large, recallable donor pool that can ensure consistency and scale from research into clinical development and manufacturing, we have world-class genomics and flow cytometry labs just down the hall from our collection facilities, enabling fast, sophisticated multi-omic characterization.

THROUGHOUT

Research, Development, & Manufacturing…

Discovery is the right choice for advancing your cell therapy programs.

Frequently Asked Questions

How are your donors characterized?

Demographic information

  • Age
  • Height
  • Sex
  • Smoking status
  • Ethnicity
  • Blood type
  • Weight

HLA-typing to 6-digit resolution with NGS

Virus testing every 90 days

  • Hepatitis B Core Antibody (Anti-HBc EIA)

  • Additional tests can be performed— please inquire.

Other genomic or flow cytometry characterizations available as add-on services

Your samples are all from healthy, normal donors—how do you define “normal"?

For a donor to qualify as normal, they cannot be currently diagnosed or have a history of cancer, autoimmune disease, or any major comorbidity (i.e. diabetes, high blood pressure, etc.). Contact us to learn more.

How do you facilitate the transition between RUO and GMP?

Our integrated project management approach facilitates the transition between research and clinical phases. Client-specific donor pools provide premier access and flexibility for GMP and RUO collections.

 
Has COVID-19 affected your collection, processing, and/or analytical facilities?
Our collection clinic, cell processing, NGS, and flow cytometry facilities have not been negatively impacted by COVID-19. We are located in Huntsville, Alabama, and have been considered an essential business by the state, enabling our facilities to remain open and fully operational. In addition, we have been able to continuously maintain our supply chain for lab consumables, keeping all projects running on schedule.
Where are you located?
Both our research use only (“RUO”) and our Good Manufacturing Processes (“GMP”) collections are done on-site in Huntsville, AL, in two separate suites in the same building. Our Cell Biology and HudsonAlpha Discovery, Sequencing and Bioinformatics, laboratories are also co-located in the same place, allowing for real-time fresh processing or downstream manipulation and analyses as needed.
