Refeyn expands into AAV-based gene therapy manufacturing with GMP software

Published: 16-Aug-2023

The manufacturer has deployed its new mass photometers, optimised for AAV analytics to provide accurate measurements of empty:full AAV ratios

Manufacturer Refeyn has unveiled its latest innovation, a software package designed to expand the use of the Samux and Samux Auto mass photometers in GMP-regulated environments. 

The Samux range is optimised for AAV analytics and provides rapid and accurate measurements of empty:full AAV ratios with minimal sample required. The new software now enables the implementation of mass photometry within AAV-based gene therapy manufacturing facilities while adhering to the strict regulatory requirements of FDA 21 CFR 11 and EMA Annex 11.

As well as these FDA and EMA regulations, utilising the speed and simplicity of Samux mass photometers for AAV characterisation in GMP-regulated environments depends on meeting the specific requirements for instrument and process validation. The newly launched software package includes three different applications: Acquire, Evaluate, and Manage. 

These applications offer user access control, audit trails, standardised workflows, and electronic signatures for streamlined and controlled AAV analytics in manufacturing environments. This provides compliance to regulations around data traceability and integrity during acquisition, analysis, and export.
