Cleanrooms for the Biotech, Cell & Gene and Regenerative Medicine

The face of medicine is changing with the arrival of the FDA’s approved novel therapies and advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMP) on the market. The promises of curing cancer and rare genetic diseases with gene editing, cell engineering or CAR-T therapies is creating a fast-growing market where biotech companies need to adapt to the special needs of this industry. The design of regenerative medicine clean rooms can be complex as production process, size and the amount of equipment required all affect the overall cost. Whether you want to build Autologous or Allogeneic facilities, all cell and gene therapy cleanrooms needs to be cGMP compliant. As the process involves living drugs, the need for a strict and stringent cleanroom environment is critical to ensure the safety of cell-based medicinal products.  CAR-T, oncology (cancer), immunotherapy, or immuno-therapy (IO) cleanroom generally include a Grade A or Grade B area (ISO 5) with Grade C (ISO 7 at rest/ISO 8 in operation) or Grade D (ISO 8) support zones.

Cell and Gene Therapy cleanrooms design considerations:

  • Gowning rooms: Personal Airlocks (PAL) and Material Airlocks (MAL)
  • HVAC, air supply and airflow patterns
  • ISO classifications and cGMP compliance
  • Temperature and humidity
  • Environmental monitoring
  • Laminar Air Flow Workbenches (LAFW) / Laminar Flow Cabinet
  • Critical utilities (N+1 redundant utilities or backup electrical and mechanical utilities)
  • Process utilities (Water for injection, CO2, compressed dry air, etc.)
  • Size of the facility (R&D labs, pre-clinical, clinical stages, or manufacturing facility)
  • Amount of equipment required (bioreactor, centrifuge, cryopreservation)
  • Autologous or Allogeneic and their associated production process layout
  • Aseptic Fill / Finish line (aseptic processing)
  • Any other custom needs

Mecart can help you comply with these strict standards. Learn more about Mecart’s Turnkey Services.
