  1. Cell properties are checked throughout the scale-up process and results are expressed in terms of cell viability, confluence, morphology, growth and cell characterization (identity/purity/potency). * 1 QC failed in the Xpansion 10 & Xpansion 50 bioreactors but QC were similar to their respective CS control (not related to the bioreactor).
