Commercial Cell Therapy Experience Using Mycoplasma NAT for Product Release

Autologous cell therapy products are patient-specific therapies that use cells harvested from a single patient to treat that same patient. Final product release tests that require minimal sampling, produce rapid valid results, and are inexpensive to use is critical because each lot of final product requires testing prior to implantation in the patient. Rapid detection of mycoplasma is essential for product release testing of autologous cell therapy products such as MACI® (autologous cultured chondrocytes on porcine collagen membrane).
