In plain English
The Cell & Gene Therapy Catapult wants to buy two pieces of specialist production equipment for its Braintree, Essex site: a multi-column chromatography system, which purifies medicines by passing them through a series of linked columns, and an automated viral inactivation system, which uses controlled mixing, pH and temperature control to neutralise viruses in liquid medicine batches. Both are for making biopharmaceuticals, and the buyer also wants installation, servicing, repairs, training and consumables included.
What the buyer wants
• Supply, deliver and install both systems at the Braintree site, with commissioning and validation support. • Provide a multi-year service, repair and maintenance contract, plus operator training and consumables. • Show that the equipment can meet pharmaceutical manufacturing standards, including batch data capture and control of the process.
