Stem cells offer great potential for use as therapies in regenerative medicine. They can be used to generate cells to replace lost or unhealthy cells in a wide range of conditions including trauma, diabetes and Parkinson’s disease. The small molecules used as ancillary materials in the generation of stem cell therapies are required to be safe, reliable, consistent and quality-assured in order to ensure the safety of the stem cell therapy. Our GMP Small Molecules, manufactured according to cGMP guidelines, provide this assurance.

About GMP Small Molecules
GMP small molecules are important in the manufacture of stem cell therapies for translational research and clinical applications, where they are used as ancillary reagents. Ancillary reagents are utilized in the growth and manipulation of stem cells. Although they are not intended to be present in the final cell therapy product, they may influence its safety, so the use of GMP ancillary reagents is advisable.
The clinical phases of development of any therapy are highly regulated in order to mitigate the risk to patient safety, and this includes the use of GMP ancillary reagents (raw materials) for developing stem cell therapies. Our GMP small molecules are manufactured following relevant sections of ICH Q7 guidelines (Good Manufacturing Practice Guide for Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients), which ensures batch-to-batch consistency, traceability from starting material to final product and animal-free production.

What is the difference between RUO and GMP small molecules?
We manufacture our GMP (current Good Manufacturing Practice) small molecules according to relevant sections of ICH Q7 guidelines. They can be categorized in the risk tier 2 classification (low risk, well characterized materials with intended use as ancillary reagents, produced in compliance with GMP) of USP <1043>. Our RUO (research use only) products, like those of other suppliers, are categorized in the risk tier 3 classification (moderate-risk materials not intended for use as ancillary reagents) of USP <1043>.
Each vial is weighed to a precise amount. We also carry out microbiological testing on our GMP small molecules, specifically endotoxin and bioburden testing.

Are GMP small molecules animal-free?
Yes. We ensure that our GMP small molecules are animal-free.
Can GMP small molecules be used as therapeutics?
No. Our GMP compounds are intended for use only as ancillary reagents for the further manufacture of advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMP), such as stem cell therapies.
Watch our webinar on the Challenges of Analyzing ATMPs.
Why has Bio-Techne developed a GMP product line?
As stem cell therapies are now entering the clinic, there is a requirement to use GMP compounds as ancillary reagents to ensure the safety and suitability of the stem cell therapy product. By introducing a GMP product line, Bio-Techne is fulfilling its commitment to provide the life science community with the latest and most relevant reagents available, to make new discoveries possible.
