Gene therapy has become heavily invested in over the past several years. So much so that the FDA released a special guide for the industry to follow, for ethical and safety reasons, as the study grows larger.
Several companies are working with genetic research and gene therapies, but the number one provider and manufacturer of such technologies and services is Cytiva.
With a growing combination of novel technologies, collaboration, and rich expertise, Cytiva works to bring the industry and people around the world the latest knowledge and life-changing discoveries in cell and gene therapy.
Cytiva, formerly known as GE Healthcare Life Sciences, is located in Marlborough, MA. It was founded in 1968 but was recently acquired by Danaher Corporation in 2020. NASDAQ announced this acquisition while informing the public of the name change and its identity as “CYTIVA” on the stock exchange.
Cytiva’s concerted efforts and innovative research aim to provide the tools needed to develop gene therapies, biopharma, medicines, and vaccinations. As a global provider of technologies, its vision is to improve access to therapies that benefit health and patient care worldwide. This article will review its services, support, and product lines that help bring that vision to life.
Cytiva aims to supplement any lab’s life science journey and research through its robust and vast array of support services and solutions. These include product documentation, online reference tools, training and education, and more. Let’s take a closer look at each of these below.
Cytiva organizes its product documentation services into four distinct categories: certificates, HyClone® certificates and documents, labels search, and safety data sheets.
Certificates include: Certificates of Authenticity (COA), Certificates of Quality (COQ), or Certificates of Conformity (COC). Certificates detail release criteria and regulatory compliance. Cytiva has recently introduced new XML certificates for much simpler data handling.
HyClone® products, on the other hand, come with their own certificates and documents. To locate certificates, safety data sheets, and reports, you need the lot number and the part number for your respective instrument.
Hazard labels can be looked up by using the label search function. You will need a catalog or article number. However, these hazard labels are for warehouses and distributors. Safety Data Sheets are available for all products with the search function by plugging in catalog or product name.
Cytiva has a curated portfolio of tools and instruments to help every lab optimize its workflow and save technicians time. Cytiva also offers mobile applications and online simulations for specific applications. These interactive tools are easy to use and aim to create efficient support systems for your applications. Cytiva divides its online tools into the following categories:
Cytiva’s training and education resources are designed for engineers, manufacturing scientists, plant operators, and support staff. These resources value the ongoing nature of education and provide comprehensive handbooks, training courses, equipment care training, white papers, and life science online training.
Through different training courses and handbooks, you can find and implement techniques and applications for cell culture, protein purification, sample preparation, ion exchange chromatography principles, and more. Leverage Cytiva’s on-demand e-learning courses for a deeper understanding of your applications, and if you run into any technical issues, find a training course for equipment maintenance and troubleshooting.
Other services offered by Cytiva include:
While the support services are numerous, where Cytiva really shines is in its product line. Whether you are developing a vaccine or contributing to the latest research on gene therapy, Cytiva has a piece of equipment that will facilitate your processes while providing accurate data. Cytiva has an extensive product line that is divided into several categories. Here is a synopsis of what they offer, organized by category:
It’s no wonder Cytiva is often a go-to manufacturer and partner in life science and biopharmaceutical industries. Cytiva has many solutions, and you can find everything you need for cell extraction, purification, and analysis. Whether you are working on vaccines or gene therapies, Cytiva is a trusted manufacturer that can get you what you need.
