Abstract

As the practice of cellular therapy grows, the decision must be made as to whether a clinical entity, such as that in an academic institution, or stand-alone hospital, wishes to build a cell processing facility to provide the products. An alternative is to use commercial companies for cell processing and/or testing. In recent years, a number of such entities have appeared, and this chapter addresses some of the factors that are involved in selecting those which can meet your needs.
