Daikyo Crystal Zenith® vials provide an ideal solution for low-temperature or cryogenic storage and transport of high-value biological drugs. () Many current cell-based products are produced, frozen, stored, and delivered to the clinical site in intravenous (IV) bags or polypropylene screw-cap containers. Although IV bags are sufficient for small-scale processes, they may not be suitable for commercial scale. Bag failures can lead to microbial contamination of the cell product, increased product preparation time, increased antibiotic use, and increased resource expenditure…

      In pharmaceutical and biochemical manufacturing processes, the emphasis is on knowable quality levels, defined components, and predictable, repeatable yields and products. This underlines the importance of reliable specification and quality claims, whether they point to cGMP, molecular biology grade, high purity, or simpler grades. The point is to be what they are claimed to be. Naturally, it is not a question of the highest purity possible, but rather the highest purity necessary at a cost that makes…
