Done with Confidence Tech Transfer

Seamless transfer of biologics processes across CDMOs, in-house teams, and research environments, structured, scalable, and fully U.S.-based.

Value

Move Your Program
Forward, Seamlessly

Smooth transition across functions

Processes, analytics, and documentation are transferred with structure and
clarity, supporting continuity across organizations.

Built for comparability and consistency

Engineering runs and analytical studies ensure your process performs as expected in its new environment.

Aligned with regulatory expectations

Transfer strategies are designed to support IND amendments, BLA submissions, and
post-approval filings.

Integrated execution from day one

Process, analytical, quality, and regulatory teams work together as a single coordinated unit.

Tech Transfer FAQs

Tech transfer timelines typically range from 6–18 months depending on program stage, process complexity, and analytical scope. Early-phase transfers may be completed more quickly, while late-phase or commercial transfers require additional comparability and regulatory work.

A comparability study evaluates material from the original site and the new site to confirm consistent product quality, using analytical methods to assess key attributes such as potency, purity, and structure.

Facility fit analysis compares equipment and operating conditions between sites to ensure the process can be successfully adapted to the new environment.

Typical documentation includes cell line history, process parameters, analytical methods, batch records, and quality data , supporting a complete understanding of the manufacturing process.

Yes. Avid supports transfers from research-stage environments, helping translate early processes into GMP-ready manufacturing.

Depending on program stage, this may include IND amendments or post-approval filings such as PAS or CBE-30, supported by comparability data and updated CMC documentation.
