Cell Culture Processing Center
CPC: What is a Cell Processing Center?

A cell culture processing center, or CPC (Cell Processing Center), is a specialized facility for culturing cells used in autologous adipose-derived stem cell therapy. CPCs are essential for the proper cultivation of these stem cells. Overseas, such facilities are commonly referred to as CPFs (Cell Processing Facilities).

In stem cell therapy, cultured stem cells must be alive when administered. This is because cells that are not alive are ineffective when administered into the body. Therefore, the higher the survival rate of the cells, the higher the rate of fixation in the body.

When culturing stem cells, it is also important not only to increase the number of cells, but also to select cells of appropriate size that can migrate smoothly through the patient's blood vessels after being administered into the body. It is considered difficult to culture adipose-derived stem cells, but our clinic is affiliated with one of the top CPCs in the country, which enables us to meet these requirements at a high level.

Main Facilities of the Cell Processing Center (CPC)

Clean Room

A clean room is a room that creates an environment for processing and culturing cells. It has a special structure that maintains internal cleanliness. This environment is essential for maintaining safety and quality in cell culture.

Microscopic observation

Microscopes are used to observe cell conditions and monitor cell growth and behavior during the culture process. Through microscopes set up in a clean room, it is possible to check whether cells are growing properly and whether there are any abnormalities.

This observation plays an important role in quality control of the culture process.

Important work is done inside the safety cabinet.

Safety cabinets are equipment used to perform critical tasks in cell culture in clean rooms.

It is designed to protect both workers and cells from external contamination during cell handling and culture.

Clean room control panel

The clean room control panel is the central device for monitoring and controlling the clean room environment. It adjusts temperature, humidity, airflow, and pressure to maintain optimal conditions for cell culture.

This control panel ensures that the environment in the clean room is always kept in optimum conditions for safe, high-quality cell culture.

CO2 incubator

The CO2 incubator is a device that plays an important role in cell culture, injecting carbon dioxide (CO2) and maintaining constant temperature, humidity, and CO2 concentration to allow cells to grow in an environment close to their physiological conditions.

This allows the cells to grow while maintaining optimal pH levels and internal body temperatures, without drying out the medium and providing fungicide protection.
