Cell Therapy & Gene Therapy Equipment worked example

Validation Batch Cost at 110% cost share assigned to validation: a worked example in cell therapy & gene therapy equipment

Push cost share assigned to validation up to 110% and the picture changes. This example computes every intermediate figure at that operating point. a validation or MSAT team is budgeting PPQ, engineering, media-fill, or equipment qualification batches

The inputs for this scenario

  • Validation or PPQ batches required: 3 batches (unchanged)
  • Direct cost per validation batch: 225,000 $ / batch (unchanged)
  • Cost share assigned to validation: 110 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 100)
  • Protocol, sampling, and report cost: 60,000 $ (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Allocated validation batch cost = validation batches required × direct cost per validation batch × validation cost share) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 802,500 $ validation for total validation batch cost, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 267,500 $ / batch for validation cost per batch.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 742,500 $ for allocated validation batch cost.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 60,000 $ for protocol, sampling, and report cost.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where cost share assigned to validation sits at 100% and the headline result is 735,000 $ validation, this scenario comes in 9.18% above the baseline at 802,500 $ validation.
  • It computes the total cost of a process validation campaign by multiplying the batches required by the direct cost per batch and the validation cost share, then adding fixed protocol, sampling, and reporting cost. The value of this scenario is the size of the gap it exposes: that gap, priced out over a year, is the budget you can justify spending to close it.

Results at a glance

  • Total validation batch cost: 802,500 $ validation (headline result)
  • Validation cost per batch: 267,500 $ / batch
  • Allocated validation batch cost: 742,500 $
  • Protocol, sampling, and report cost: 60,000 $
