Train on an ATMP Q/LIMS
before go-live
NextCell is a working ATMP training environment at our Leiden office: a Simploud Q/LIMS configured for ATMP workflows, with simulated EMS/BMS, equipment and operator interfaces. Teams practise GMP processes on it before go-live.
From "read and understand" to "do and understand"
Most digital transformation programmes ask people to learn new systems from documentation, then expect them to do the right thing on day one of go-live.
NextCell gives teams a place to practise ATMP workflows before go-live. It combines a Simploud Q/LIMS configured for ATMP workflows with simulated EMS/BMS and operator interfaces.
What you can do in the lab
Batch Records
Run electronic batch manufacturing records end to end — from process parameters and material lot tracking to in-process checks and review/release. Practise the same review-by-exception flow operators use on the floor.
Environmental Monitoring
Generate, sample and trend EMS/BMS data for cleanroom classes, with viable and non-viable monitoring tied to GMP Annex 1 expectations. Investigate excursions in a safe, repeatable way.
Deviation Handling
Open, triage and close deviations against the connected QMS — from immediate impact assessment through CAPA. Train teams on root-cause analysis without risking real product.
Equipment Qualification
Walk through IQ/OQ/PQ for instruments and process equipment exactly as you would on a real qualification campaign. Periodic review and re-qualification cycles included.
Sample & Result Lifecycle
Log samples, schedule analyses, capture results, and release against specifications in the unified LIMS. The same lifecycle a QC analyst executes daily, without the contamination risk.
Computer System Validation
Use the lab as a sandbox for validating new configurations, custom forms, or integrations — generate the IQ/OQ evidence you'll need for your production deployment.
Who it's for
Practise four-eyes review, batch release, and deviation/CAPA workflows on real systems.
Get familiar with the digital tooling before go-live.
Author and execute IQ/OQ/PQ protocols against an ATMP Q/LIMS configuration.
De-risk transformation programmes by piloting workflows, integrations, and reports before production.
How it's built
NextCell runs on the same software stack DCC deploys for production clients. The Q/LIMS layer is built with our partner Simploud, configured for ATMP processes, and wired into simulated EMS/BMS, equipment, and operator interfaces.
The lab is hosted at our Leiden office and operated by DCC consultants who deliver the same systems for real manufacturing sites. When you visit, you talk to the people who built it.
