Webinar: InVitria + Evonik

Published on 16 September 2026

From Cell Banking to Cell Therapy: The Role of Recombinant Albumin in Cryopreservation

November 10, 2026 | 9:00 a.m. EST / 3:00 p.m. CET

How Evonik and InVitria® are enabling animal component-free, scalable cell therapy manufacturing with next-generation rHSA solutions

Cryopreservation is a critical step in cell therapy manufacturing, and it remains exposed to raw material variability, supply constraints, and concerns about animal- or human-derived components.

In this live webinar, Evonik and InVitria will share application data showing how recombinant human serum albumin (rHSA) supports consistent, animal component-free cryopreservation of iPSCs, T cells, and MSCs. The session will also cover how rHSA compares with plasma-derived albumin and what to consider when evaluating recombinant albumin for GMP manufacturing.

Why Attend This Webinar?

  • Understand how animal component-free rHSA can reduce variability and support more defined cell therapy manufacturing workflows.
  • See how rHSA performs in iPSC, T cell, and MSC cryopreservation models, including post-thaw outcomes beyond viability.
  • Learn how recombinant albumin compares with plasma-derived albumin in purity, consistency, and supply security.
  • Get practical guidance on evaluating rHSA for GMP workflows, including formulation fit, qualification, comparability, and closed-system integration.
Cryopreservation occurs at cell banking and final product steps in cell therapy manufacturing

Featured Products

The session features Evonik’s CreaCyte® rHSA for biomanufacturing, powered by Optibumin® 25, InVitria’s ready-to-use 25% liquid recombinant albumin designed for biomanufacturing and closed-system workflows.
