Cell banks

consist of long-term stored cells (see cryoconservation) of the Master Cell Bank (MCB) and the Working Cell Bank (WCB) 80. They are a precondition for patenting cells and processes regulated by GMP. Thereby, one single vial of the MCB (consisting of 10 to 20 vials) is used to generate the WCB with approximately 100 vials.
