Analytical Development
Our analytical scientists design, optimize and validate assays across the full lifecycle, from early-phase methods to commercial readiness. Services include potency, purity, identity and stability testing, aligned with ICH Q2 and global regulatory expectations. Integrated with development and manufacturing, we ensure reliable GMP performance across all modalities.
Assay Transfer
Smooth assay transfer ensures continuity and reliability across sites and studies, maintaining consistency and accuracy. We deliver structured, data-driven transfers, including gap analysis, bridging studies and qualification/validation, in accordance with ICH Q2. Methods are supported across viral vectors, gene-edited cells, monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), proteins and vaccines, ensuring seamless readiness for lot release, stability and comparability studies.
Biosafety Testing
With more than 40 years of biosafety expertise, Minaris provides GMP-compliant sterility, mycoplasma, endotoxin, adventitious agent and replication-competent virus testing. Our specialized focus on CGT ensures risk-based strategies tailored to viral vectors, plasmids and packaging systems. Results are audit-ready and regulator-accepted, supporting IND, IMPD and BLA submissions worldwide.
Cell Line Characterization
We provide comprehensive, regulatory-compliant characterization of Master, Working and End-of-Production Cell Banks, including sterility, mycoplasma, endotoxin, retroviral and identity testing. Our services align with the guidelines of the ICH, FDA, EMA and PMDA, enabling the faster release of GMP cell banks and seamless integration into development and manufacturing workflows.
Lot Release
A reliable lot release ensures that therapies reach patients without delay. Minaris provides a comprehensive GMP testing panel across various modalities, including sterility, identity, potency, purity, residuals, RCL/rcAAV and more. With thousands of batches tested, our validated assays support global submissions and commercial approvals, minimizing risk and accelerating patient access.
Potency
Potency is a critical quality attribute. We design and validate custom assays, ranging from cell-based functional studies and reporter gene assays to ELISA, PCR and transduction efficiency tests. All assays meet ICH Q2 standards, providing meaningful biological insights that satisfy regulators and support product release and lifecycle management.
Stability
We deliver ICH Q1-compliant stability programs, including long-term, real-time, accelerated and ongoing studies. Our methods support all biologic and advanced therapy modalities, with submission-ready data for global regulators. By evaluating shelf life and storage conditions, we ensure that therapies maintain their safety, quality and efficacy throughout distribution and patient use.
Viral Clearance
A global leader with 3,000+ studies and zero regulatory rejections, Minaris designs viral clearance studies aligned with ICH Q5A(R2), FDA, EMA and WHO guidelines. Dedicated viral clearance suites with AKTA systems ensure rigorous validation across vectors, proteins and vaccines, safeguarding patient safety and accelerating regulatory approvals.
