As the "processing plant" of biological products drugs, cells have always played a core role.The safety and integrity of cell banks are very important for biological drug enterprises. Biologic pharmaceutical companies need to establish a master cell bank (MCB) and a working cell bank (WCB) on the basis of cell lines for development. The management of these cell banks runs throughout the life cycle of biological products from early development to late-stage marketing. Therefore, the long-term storage management of cell banks is an important part of the quality control of biological products.
