Quality and safety

The focus on quality and consistency enables us to help our customers achieve their goals.

Commitment to quality

We are committed to your success. By maintaining a standard of unassailable quality and continuous process improvement, our quality management systems and policies are designed to meet your ever-changing needs. We know how critical product quality is to your success, which is why we are committed to thorough documentation, design control, and extensive QC testing.

Quality management systems

Our stringent management controls, process controls, and built-in process improvement steps ensure we meet the quality standards that you expect. We aim to meet quality and regulatory standards and to exceed customer expectations in all that we do. At Thermo Fisher Scientific, we welcome customer and supplier audits as a way to ensure our quality standards meet the expectations and ever-changing needs of our customers.

Quality control testing–validated processes and test methods

Gibco Cell Therapy Systems (CTS)

All of our CTS products meet the minimum quality control requirements as outlined in USP <1043> (ancillary materials for cell, gene, and tissue-engineered products) and Ph. EUR 5.2.12 (raw materials of biological origin for the production of cell-based and gene therapy medicinal products).

Gibco Cell Therapy Systems (CTS) media and reagents undergo extensive QC testing following pharmacopeia test methods where possible. Our routine QC on all CTS reagents includes:

  • Sterility (for aseptic products only) or Bioburden Testing
  • Mycoplasma
  • Performance testing based on the intended use
  • Real time stability with meaningful stability indicating tests

Our biological origin raw material traceability, quality control testing and test method references are detailed on our Certificates of Analysis and Origin. These documents are designed to enable risk assessment of CTS products for use in clinical manufacturing. All CTS products have SDS available.
