Charles River Introduces CliniPrime Cryopreserved Leukopaks, Expanding Suite of GMP-Compliant Cellular Products

New option for cryopreserved leukopaks supports demand of gene-modified cell therapy development and manufacturing

Charles River Laboratories International, Inc. (NYSE: CRL) today announced the expansion of its CliniPrime™ suite of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP)-compliant offerings with the launch of CliniPrime Cryopreserved Leukopaks for cell therapy development and manufacturing. All CliniPrime products meet regulatory guidelines for clinical trial development and commercial manufacturing of advanced therapies.

As advances in gene-modified cell therapies continue, there is a growing need for reliable and consistent sources of GMP-compliant, donor-derived, cellular starting material. Cryopreserved leukopaks play a critical role in the research and development continuum and have become an ideal option for many cell therapy developers. Cryopreservation shortly after leukopak collection maximizes cellular viability, product consistency, and long-term availability. These factors can help simplify logistics and mitigate risk throughout the supply chain of donor-derived cellular starting materials.

The launch of CliniPrime Cryopreserved Leukopaks completes an already robust portfolio of GMP-compliant leukopaks from Charles River. CliniPrime leverages Charles River’s established production processes to provide advanced therapy programs with a high-quality product offering that supports both clinical trial development and commercialization, while reducing client resource investment and risk.

Charles River provides cellular products and services, creating collaborative relationships with clients as they progress their programs through the development cycle.
