Cell Therapy & Gene Therapy Equipment calculator
Single-Use Kit Cost Calculator
Single-Use Kit Cost helps procurement, manufacturing, and process engineering teams understand the consumable cost tied to closed cell therapy and gene therapy workflows. It is useful when comparing automated processing platforms, supplier quotes, campaign volumes, and cost-per-dose assumptions.
What this calculator does
- Estimate disposable tubing set, bag, cartridge, filter, and closed-processing kit cost for a batch or campaign.
- a procurement or manufacturing team is costing single-use assemblies for a patient batch, donor lot, or vector campaign
- The result estimates the consumable kit cost assigned to a batch group, product, campaign, or program.
Formula used
- Allocated disposable kit cost = runs using the kit × single-use kit cost per run × program allocation
- Total single-use kit cost = allocated disposable kit cost + fixed qualification, freight, or safety-stock cost
Inputs explained
- Batches or processing runs using the kit: Count patient batches, vector runs, fills, washes, or automated processing cycles requiring the disposable kit.
- Single-use kit cost per run: Use the quoted or standard cost for tubing sets, bags, cartridges, filters, connectors, and sterile assemblies.
- Kit cost allocated to this program: Enter the share assigned to this product, campaign, clinical program, or cost center.
- Fixed qualification, freight, or safety-stock cost: Add lot qualification, incoming QC, expedited freight, MOQ overbuy, or safety-stock carrying cost.
How to use the result
- Use it when quoting cost per patient, comparing closed-system platforms, or setting purchase quantities for GMP production.
- It excludes media, reagents, cryobags, labor, equipment depreciation, scrap, and supplier lead-time risk unless those costs are added to the inputs.
Common questions
- What should be included in the kit cost? Include the disposable assembly required for the step: tubing set, bag set, cassette, cartridge, filters, sterile welds or connectors, and any one-time-use sensors.
- How do I handle shared kits across products? Use the allocation percentage to assign only the share used by the product, program, or campaign being costed.
- Can this support automated cell processing platform comparisons? Yes. Enter each platform's disposable kit cost and fixed qualification charges to compare cost per run before adding labor or equipment depreciation.
- When is the estimate incomplete? It is incomplete if price breaks, minimum order quantities, rejected incoming lots, inventory expiry, or emergency freight materially change the actual consumable cost.
