Echo™-Cardio
A platform primed to deliver performance and scale
An industrialized, full-spectrum GMP manufacturing platform that delivers clinical-grade, high-purity iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes at therapeutic scale, accelerating your path to the clinic.
Powerful reasons to put Echo™-Cardio on your side.
The Echo™-Cardio platform from Cellistic removes the two biggest barriers to cardiac regenerative medicine:- Reliably producing cardiomyocytes that behave like true human heart cells
- Manufacturing them at the scale, quality, and consistency required for clinical and commercial use.
Accelerate speed to clinic through a pre-established, iPSC-based GMP manufacturing platform
Secure clear IP positioning and licensing framework
Boost scalability using stirred-tank bioreactors
Reduce process and analytical development challenges with pre-built platform and pre-established starting materials
Ensure regulatory readiness and GMP compliance at our EMA-certified, and FDA and PMDA-compliant manufacturing facility
Work with a proven cardiomyocyte manufacturing partner, with more than 500 batches executed across 53 iPSC lines
Giving you an edge from start to finish.
Echo™-Cardio puts all the right services and modules to work right where they can benefit your program the most. From iPSC starting materials through to IND/IMPD-ready CMC documentation, we help you take every step in GMP manufacturing confidently and productively.
Qualified iPSC starting materials
Manufacturing starts from pre-established GMP iPSC master cell banks (MCBs).- Genomic stability, low-passage lines, and full traceability
- Long-term supply security
- Optional integration of client-specific edits via Pulse™ and STAR-CRISPR™
Scalable 3D bioreactor expansion
- Controlled, reproducible expansion in automated stirred-tank bioreactors
- Clinical-scale output exceeding 20B cells per batch
- Consistent viability, purity, and phenotype maintained across scale
Standardized, GMP-aligned differentiation
- Cytokine-free, chemically defined workflows
- Line-agnostic design supporting client-supplied iPSC lines
- Closed, automated systems minimizing variability
- Pre-established batch records and qualified GMP raw materials
