Advancing Low-Temperature Performance: Testing, Trends, and Containment for Cell Therapies

This webinar provides an overview of low-temperature testing for pharmaceutical packaging and delivery components, with a focus on how materials and systems perform under cold and cryogenic conditions. It will introduce the fundamentals of low-temperature testing, explain how component properties can change at reduced temperatures, and outline key considerations for selecting components that meet application and performance requirements. The session will also discuss market and industry trends shaping demand for low-temperature solutions and review the regulatory drivers behind increased testing expectations. A featured case study on allogeneic cell therapy will examine NK-92 cells stored in cyclic olefin polymer (COP) vials, including cryopreservation parameters, post-thaw recovery and function, and container closure integrity at -180°C, demonstrating the potential of COP vials as a robust containment solution for cell therapy preservation and delivery.
