Cell Preparation

Process development, preparation, testing and identification of cell products for defined research and translational programmes.

What we do

From process development to a documented cell preparation.

Beike's Regional Cell Preparation Centers use defined protocols, controlled processing and batch records. Requirements are agreed for each programme; preparation by a controlled process does not by itself establish regulatory approval or clinical suitability.

Cell Preparation
Capabilities

Four service tracks across the manufacturing stack.

01

Process development

Custom protocol design for new cell-therapy programmes; pilot to scale-up.

02

Controlled preparation

Closed-system processing in cleanroom suites, with programme-specific batch records.

03

Quality testing

Identity, potency, sterility, mycoplasma, endotoxin — backed by independent CNAS labs.

04

Release & shipment

Cold-chain release with documented chain-of-custody for the authorised receiving site.

Manufacturing flow

A six-stage framework adapted to each programme.

  1. 01

    Starting material intake

    Source verification, identity check, intake QC and chain-of-custody opened on arrival.

  2. 02

    Cell isolation & seeding

    Tissue dissociation or selection (depending on cell type), seeding under closed-system conditions.

  3. 03

    Controlled expansion

    Expansion under defined media and atmosphere, monitored in process by automated cell-manufacturing lines.

  4. 04

    Harvest & formulation

    Cells are harvested, washed and formulated to the quantity and composition defined by the applicable protocol.

  5. 05

    Release testing

    Identity, viability, potency and microbiological test requirements are defined for the programme, with third-party verification where required.

  6. 06

    Cold-chain dispatch

    Defined transport conditions, batch documentation and chain-of-custody are handed over to the authorised receiving site.

Intelligent manufacturing

A fully automated, closed-system cell-manufacturing line.

Beike reported deploying an automated, closed cell-processing system with supporting industrial software in 2022. Earlier company figures cited more than 100 preparation batches and 15,000 operating hours; those dated figures describe system use, not product approval or clinical performance.

High cleanliness

Fully automatic, fully enclosed line achieving Grade-A environmental maintenance and contamination control.

High stability

End-to-end automated, standardised preparation that improves the consistency and uniformity of cell-product quality.

High intelligence

Customisable manufacturing modules, intelligent cell identification and status evaluation, dynamic inventory planning and production-safety monitoring.

High capacity

24-hour uninterrupted operation to meet large-scale cell production and raise preparation efficiency.

Beike reports operating a Grade-B clean workshop at its headquarters. The current facility classification, monitoring data and permitted activities should be confirmed for the programme being evaluated.

Release-test matrix

Example release-test categories used in defined preparation protocols.
