Overview

CellPort is an all-in-one SaaS platform purpose-built for cell-based operations, including cell culturing, cell banking, and cell storage. Developed and lab-tested since 2014, CellPort brings digital capabilities to life science labs, helping them standardize procedures, simplify compliance, and scale operations from research and development through GMP manufacturing.

CellPort serves a broad range of industries, including biopharmaceutical, biotechnology, contract research organizations (CROs), contract development and manufacturing organizations (CDMOs), cellular agriculture, and academic, teaching, and research institutions. The platform is designed to guide labs at every stage — from early R&D and QA and testing through full GMP compliance — providing the tools needed to achieve reproducible, ready-to-scale results.

Core Modules and Capabilities

  • Cell Culture: CellPort tracks every facet of cell culture, creating and maintaining optimal conditions for cell growth, health, and productivity. Supported applications include protein manufacturing, in vitro pharmaceutical testing, cellular agriculture, and more.
  • Cell Banking: The platform ensures a consistent and reproducible supply of cells through well-documented and characterized cell banks, supporting both master cell bank (MCB) and working cell bank (WCB) protocols.
  • Lab Management: CellPort automatically schedules and tracks the preparation of reagents, consumables, and materials, as well as equipment calibration. A weekly calendar view provides clear visibility into all protocol schedules for teams of any size and location.
  • Bioprocessing: CellPort introduces a centralized data structure, robust regulatory compliance, and real-time decision-making for bioprocessing operations, helping reduce lab-to-market time.

Upstream and Downstream Bioprocessing

  • Upstream: CellPort streamlines upstream processes including cell line development, media selection, and bioreactor setup. The platform provides intelligent tools to enhance productivity and ensure consistency in harvesting, all within a user-friendly interface.
  • Downstream: CellPort supports seamless cell harvesting and clarification, precise product isolation, purification, and polishing, as well as meticulous formulation and fill and finish operations. The platform ensures rigorous quality control and release to guarantee superior product integrity at every step.

Key Platform Features

  • Digital Protocols and Master Batch Records (MBRs): Users can choose from a library of pre-built or custom digital protocols to generate and track master batch records, standardizing cell passaging and processing for consistent results.
  • Resource Tracking: The platform optimizes management of materials, equipment, reagents, consumables, and more.
  • In-App Messaging: Centralized communication tools maintain transparency, traceability, and support team training directly within the platform.
  • Customized Reporting: Real-time reporting and simplified compliance tools allow labs to monitor status and avoid costly, time-consuming audits through fully traceable reporting.

Industry Applications

  • Biopharmaceutical: CellPort helps biopharma R&D and manufacturing labs achieve more reproducible, ready-to-scale results, supporting the end-to-end production of modern medicines and aiding in FDA approval for commercial products.
  • Biotechnology: Built to optimize all upstream and downstream bioprocessing operations, CellPort supports biotech companies through experimentation, development, and manufacturing, from cell lineage tracing to product packaging, while adhering to GLP and GMP standards.
  • CRO and CDMO: CellPort supports adherence to SOPs through automated time and scheduling, centralized communications, customized reporting, and a library of configurable protocols and assays, enabling contract labs to operate more efficiently.
  • Cellular Agriculture: CellPort provides tools tailored to the unique needs of cellular agriculture operations.
  • Academia, Teaching, and Research: The platform also serves academic and research institutions engaged in cell-based science.

CellPort is actively engaged with the life sciences community, attending industry events such as Lab of the Future USA, Advanced Therapies Week, and the LEAN Cell and Gene Washington D.C. Summit, reflecting its commitment to advancing digital lab management across cell and gene therapy manufacturing and broader life science innovation.
