Why HEK293-based viral vector production needs chemically defined media HEK293 cells are the dominant production platform for recombinant AAV, lentiviral and adenoviral vectors — including the majority of approved and clinical-stage ATMP products. Regulatory expectations under EMA ATMP guidelines and FDA 21 CFR Part 1271 require animal-component-free, chemically defined raw materials with documented traceability. CelluPro's TransCHO Kit02, distributed by SeamlessBio, meets this standard out of the box — manufactured under ISO 13485-certified QMS with EXCiPACT™ accreditation.

Designed For: ATMP Manufacturers & Viral Vector CDMOs

SeamlessBio supplies HEK293 transfection and viral vector media to two primary customer groups: ATMP manufacturers (gene therapies, cell & gene therapy products, VLP-based vaccines) and viral vector CDMOs producing AAV, lentiviral and adenoviral vectors for clinical or commercial supply.

For ATMPs under EMA classification (EC 1394/2007) and biologics under FDA oversight, the supply chain documentation expectations are high — full traceability, lot-to-lot consistency, and GMP-certified manufacturing. CelluPro's ISO 13485 / EXCiPACT™ manufacturing standard meets these requirements from the raw material side.

SeamlessBio covers EU and UK supply, with batch reservation available for production campaigns.
