The Implementation of Cell Counting Standards (ISO 20391-1:2018 and ISO 20391-2:2019) Training Cours

ABOUT THE COURSE

The Implementation of the ISO Cell Counting Standards course is a partnership between ISCT and the Standard Coordinating Body (SCB). This course was developed with input from the Subject Matter Experts (SMEs), including NIST, FDA, and device manufacturers, who created the ISO 20391-1:2018 (Part 1) and ISO 20391-2:2019 (Part 2) Standards. 

This course will give you a fundamental understanding of cell counting terminology, methods, reporting, processes for cell counts, sample selection, and data analysis. You will learn from experts how to apply the principles of quality indicators for evaluating the quality of a cell counting measurement process. As part of the course, you will receive an electronic copy of  ISO 20391-1:2018 (Part 1) and ISO 20391-2:2019 (Part 2) Standards. 

At the end of the course, you will be confident in implementing ISO Cell Counting Standards and using consensus standards in the regulatory process. This will improve the quality and comparability of your cell counting process and can shorten regulatory review.

    Our partnership with ISCT brings the largest cell manufacturing research and education consortium together with the largest global cell & gene therapy society to deliver critically needed workforce training for CGT. ”

    “ISCT has long identified and taken measures to alleviate the skills shortages across the cell and gene therapy sector. ISCT has run a range of courses across the CGT sector, including forming our ISCT Early-Stage Professionals (ESP) Committee, responsible for our extensive Mentoring Program. Despite these efforts, growth in the CGT sector continues to outpace the professionals entering. This is a major issue for the sector that could become critical in the near future."
