The Importance of CFU/gm Testing and Why Labs Need a Reliable Solution

Maintaining cellular quality is critical in cell therapy and regenerative medicine. The Colony-Forming Unit per Gram (CFU/gm) test is key to confirming a cell population’s functional viability but performing it reliably can be challenging. Biovault Technical offers expert CFU/gm testing services, helping labs maintain high standards without disrupting workflows.

 

The Cornerstone of Cell Functionality: Understanding CFU/gm Testing in Cell Therapy

In the evolving fields of cell therapy and regenerative medicine, the quality and functionality of cells are non-negotiable. A crucial tool for validating this functionality is the CFU/gm (Colony-Forming Unit per Gram) test.

This assay provides essential evidence that a cell population can perform its intended therapeutic functions — offering strong indicators of processing success, short of actual engraftment.

However, while CFU/gm testing is fundamental, executing it accurately can be complex and resource-intensive, often requiring specialist expertise that many laboratories cannot easily spare.

The Challenge of In-House CFU/gm Testing

Performing CFU/gm testing internally demands:

  • Specialist knowledge and technical skills

  • Dedicated time and controlled environments

  • Consistency across repeated assays

Without these, laboratories risk:

  • Variations in methodology and outcomes

  • Strain on core research and production resources

  • Potential impacts on product integrity and patient outcomes

In a field where consistency and reliability are crucial, even small inconsistencies in colony-forming unit analysis can compromise therapeutic success.
