DESCRIPTION
With the increased use of unrelated donor products, multiple product collections, and specialized cell processing procedures, short-term liquid storage of cell therapy products has become commonplace. Products need to be shipped from distant collection centers to processing laboratories and from centralized cell processing laboratories to clinical sites. Stability programs are now required for product storage (CT Standard 5.15.1.2). This audioconference will discuss on-site short-term storage, shipping fresh products, and stability programs for cryopreserved products.
