Analytical Development
& Testing Services

The Center for Breakthrough Medicine’s Analytical Development and Testing team provides analytical method development, method transfers, qualification and validation services to ensure quality, potency and safety throughout product development and manufacturing with the ultimate objective of safeguarding end-patients.

Our testing services occupy 200,000 square feet of GMP laboratory space, located on one campus to provide clients with access to capabilities and direct support without having to outsource to multiple laboratories.

Laboratories & Services include:

CBM also offers production of GMP Master and Working Cell Banks, as well as Master and Working Virus Seed Stocks. Characterization and release testing is also offered as part of CBM’s banking services.

Advanced Analytical Techniques

Next-Generation Sequencing

aDNA and RNA sequencing, plasmid sequencing, individual cell characterization identification of rare populations not detectable in pools, viral sequence integration verification, and analysis of on- and off-target effects.

Droplet Digital PCR and Digital PCR

precise, robust, accurate, and absolute quantification of plasmid quality, viral titer, vector copy number, percent modified cells, and residual host DNA.

Mass Spectometry

peptide mapping, accurately measure molecular weight, quantitation of viral protein and ratios, glycan profiling of viral proteins and Host Cell Proteins.

Empty vs Full Capsid, Partial Characterization

quantitate empty, partial, and full capsid ratios, identify impurities affecting product quality, therapeutic effect, and safety.

Bioassays and Potency Package

cell-based bioassays for multiple cell lines, virus product strength, infectivity / media tissue culture infections dose (TCID50), translation potency, polypeptide chain expression, functional protein potency assay.

Testing Platform & Capabilities

Product release analytical testing panels customized for each AAV vector, lentiviral vector, plasmid DNA & nucleic acids, and cell therapy service program. Capabilities are also available to support biologics, vaccines and other advanced therapies.
