PRIMACYT GmbH wins Award at the Health Care Idea Contest of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany

PRIMACYT Cell Culture Technology GmbH is one of the ten winners in the Health Care Idea Contest of the Federal State of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany.
The aim of the proposed project is to build up an in-vitro technology network for the establishment of a comprehensive GLP Business Incubator for cell cultures and tissue.

The project plans to intensify a crosslinking testing and screening system. The proposal combines multiple existing logistic chains to a complete workflow utilizing Primacyt’s proprietary quality assurance system under GLP conditions.

This technology enables further standardization of laboratory processes for in-vitro analytical research. Target research areas include pharmaceuticals, chemicals, reagents and cosmetics, allowing substantial avoidance of animal experiments.

As Dr. Dieter Runge, CEO of Primacyt commented: “The GLP - Business Incubator for services and products of participating partners will be expanded and made available to companies in the pharmaceutical and biotech industries through the distribution channels of Primacyt. For the first time, this standardized global process provides the possibility of internationally validated comparisons, preferentially when it comes to mission critical tasks, for example in allergy research or in pharmacology, wherever safety considerations are of highest importance. Primacyt is ready to support such research institutions.”

Primacyt is one of the seven approved German partner organizations of the Network for Alternatives to Animal Testing and for the appropriate method validation by the European Commission and the EU reference laboratory EURL ECVAM.
