Conference Call to be Held Today at 1:30 p.m. PT/4:30 p.m. ET
RANCHO CORDOVA, Calif., May 15, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — ThermoGenesis Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: THMO), a market leader in automated cell processing tools and services in the cell and gene therapy field, today reported financial and operating results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023 and provided a corporate strategic update.
“During the first quarter, we continued to make progress in building out our 35,500+ square foot state-of-the-art facility in Sacramento, which is a significant part of our transition into a high performance, integrated contract development and manufacturing organization (“CDMO”) in the cell and gene therapy field,” commented Chris Xu, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of ThermoGenesis. “The twelve (12) class-7 ReadyStart cGMP cleanrooms that we are building out are designed to meet the highest scientific, quality, and regulatory requirements and will be ideal for early-stage companies looking to jump-start their development efforts and/or scale up in the same facility. This turnkey solution, leveraging our proprietary cell processing technologies, such as the CAR-TXpress™ platform, and our existing in-house regulatory expertise is intended to eliminate a tremendous resource burden for early-stage resident companies and should greatly accelerate the development cycle for next-generation cell and gene therapies. Bolstered by our March 2023 $3.0 million private placement, we expect the ReadyStart cGMP Suites to be available in the second or third quarter of this year, and if fully leased out, are expected to generate $10 million to $16 million in annual revenue.”
