Today’s cell and gene therapy manufacturers are transforming lives by making better therapies more accessible. As a result, ensuring the safety and availability of these medicines is paramount.

We recognize that as a supplier into your process we play a critical role in supporting your need for high-quality products, a stable supply chain and robust risk mitigation strategies. Our experienced cell and gene therapy professionals, technical support teams, and highly specialized scientific teams are available to answer your questions, provide detailed product and protocol consultation, as well as customization services.

Regulatory support

Providing quality for our customers drives everything we do. Gibco CTS products are specifically designed for use in cell, gene, and tissue-engineered applications. Our facilities operate under robust global Quality Management Systems (QMS) certified to ISO 9001 or 13485. Gibco CTS products are designed to meet the US and EU guidelines specific to ancillary materials for CGT (USP 1043*, ISO 20399, EP 5.2.12*).

Our dedicated regulatory and quality teams are focused on providing product support for customer filings. In addition to our comprehensive CTS portfolio of products, we offer regulatory documentation to support your transition from research through to commercialization.

Traceability documentation

We offer extensive traceability documentation including Drug Master Files (DMF) and Regulatory Support Files (RSF), certificates of analysis (COA), and certificates of origin (COO) to ease the burden on your quality systems by helping support your regulatory submission and reduce risk throughout.

Enabling commercial use and supply assurance

We are committed to enabling the commercialization of cell and gene therapies using our Gibco CTS products by customizing formulations/testing, providing continuity of supply, access to relevant regulatory documentation and commercial use rights under mutually committed relationships.

The benefits to the cell therapy developer are multifold:

  • Supply assurance to provide comfort that you will have access to Thermo Fisher Scientific’s products for your drug manufacture at a defined specification and “on time and in full” when required
  • Regulatory support beyond Phase 1 support of our products to help ensure successful regional approvals
  • Commercial use rights extending beyond any applicable Limited Use Label Licenses that are conveyed with the catalog product

For further information regarding how Thermo Fisher Scientific may enable your late-stage cell therapy development and commercialization efforts please contact: outlicensing@thermofisher.com.
