BEIJING, Oct. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- As synthetic biology expands into new applications, standardized manufacturing processes, reliable production data, and robust quality management systems are becoming increasingly important. Tsingke recently hosted an on-site customer quality audit conducted by Sichuan Kelun-Biotech Biopharmaceutical Co., Ltd. at its Chengdu manufacturing facility. The audit focused on four key areas: raw material traceability, equipment lifecycle management, computerized systems and data integrity, and biological sample management.
Audit Assesses Key Quality Controls Across Manufacturing Operations
Raw Material Traceability: Auditors reviewed material receipt and inventory records, certificates of analysis (COAs), and incoming material acceptance records. They also examined forward and backward traceability procedures to verify the connections between raw materials, manufacturing activities, finished products, and associated production records.
Equipment Lifecycle Management: The audit covered equipment qualification records, calibration certificates, routine maintenance records, and equipment status labeling. Auditors paid particular attention to how equipment qualification, maintenance, and monitoring are managed throughout the equipment lifecycle.
Data Integrity and Computerized Systems: Auditors reviewed validation documentation for computerized systems and access control procedures for systems including Core-System and U8 Cloud. They also examined data archiving, backup, and periodic review procedures to assess the controls in place to support the integrity and availability of production and quality data.
Biological Sample Management: The audit covered the full lifecycle of biological sample management, including sample receipt, identification, storage, transfer, retention, and disposal.
Together, these areas illustrate how Tsingke integrates quality management requirements into routine manufacturing procedures and operational controls.
From Quality Management to Intelligent Manufacturing: Advancing "AI + Molecular Manufacturing"
As molecular manufacturing expands to serve a broader range of applications, maintaining consistent quality and reliable production becomes increasingly important.
For Tsingke, standardized workflows, robust quality controls, and reliable production data provide the foundation for its "AI + Molecular Manufacturing" strategy. These capabilities create opportunities to apply artificial intelligence to production analytics, process monitoring, and process optimization.
Building on this foundation, Tsingke's Gene Factory model integrates molecular manufacturing with digital technologies, aiming to coordinate and optimize operations across the production process rather than focusing on individual steps in isolation.
The quality systems and operational controls reviewed during the audit reflect the importance of standardized processes and reliable data in supporting more integrated, digitally enabled manufacturing operations.
Strengthening Capabilities for Scalable Molecular Manufacturing
Looking ahead, Tsingke will continue to refine its manufacturing processes and quality management systems while exploring opportunities to apply digital technologies and artificial intelligence to molecular manufacturing. These efforts are aimed at improving operational consistency, supporting manufacturing scalability, and strengthening long-term customer partnerships.

Tsingke Customer Quality Audit Highlights Manufacturing Systems and Quality Controls
Bringing Its Signature Bold, Color-Forward Swimwear Aesthetic into Workouts and Weekends
SHANGHAI, Oct. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- POPVIL, a swimwear-led women's apparel brand known for bold color blocking and playful contrast, today announced the launch of ColorSoft™, an activewear collection that extends the brand's signature color-led design language into movement and everyday life. Throughout the 2026 swimwear season, POPVIL consistently ranked among the top five swimwear brands by sales volume on the U.S. TikTok Shop.

POPVIL's swimwear has long used bright colors and energetic design to help women feel confident and express their personality. Through ongoing customer conversations, the brand found that women valued not only how its products looked, but also how they made them feel—comfortable, supported and confident.
One POPVIL customer in her 60s wrote:
"I appreciate that you make swimsuits that allow a woman in her 60s to put one on and feel comfortable, confident and really good about herself. ... I love the bold colors."
That feedback helped inspire POPVIL to bring the same sense of comfort, confidence and self-expression beyond vacation and into everyday movement.
Customer research reinforced the opportunity. Across surveys conducted in August 2025 and August 2026, POPVIL collected more than 1000 responses from customers who had purchased POPVIL swimwear, with more than 65% reporting that they exercise regularly.
Vibrant Activewear for Workouts and Weekends
ColorSoft™ brings POPVIL's recognizable color DNA into activewear through contrast binding, color blocking, clean lines and figure-flattering silhouettes. Designed for workouts, outdoor walks and weekend routines, the collection reflects the brand's belief that activewear can combine function with personality and mood.
The "Soft" in ColorSoft™ represents the collection's focus on comfort. Several core styles use a custom-developed brushed nylon-spandex fabric designed to balance next-to-skin softness, stretch and supportive hold. Early testers described the hand feel as "buttery soft." The fabric also offers moisture-wicking performance and breathability for movement and everyday wear.
With a core customer base of women aged 30 and older, POPVIL also designed the collection around coverage, support, flattering fit and everyday practicality. Key categories include:
- Sports Tanks with Built-In Support: Core tank styles integrate built-in bras and coverage into a single top. Varied necklines, open-back details and contrast-color elements balance support and midsection coverage with a lighter, flattering look. Coordinated colors, lines and trims across tanks and leggings also create complete set looks.
- High-Waisted Leggings: Many styles replace traditional elastic waistbands with folded-fabric construction, creating a softer, smoother high-rise fit with less digging through the waist. Crossover V-waistbands, back V-seam detailing and side pockets combine flattering lines with practical functionality for workouts, outdoor walks and everyday errands.
- All-in-One Active Dresses: Designed as complete outfits in one piece, the dresses feature integrated shorts to eliminate the inconvenience of detachable liners that can be misplaced. A discreet back opening also simplifies restroom access, addressing a common drawback of active dresses with built-in shorts.
Together, the pieces are designed to move naturally from workouts and outdoor walks into everyday life—functional enough for exercise while polished and practical enough for weekends.
"ColorSoft™ is a natural extension of what our customers already value about POPVIL: color, comfort and confidence," said Jane Go, Marketing Director at POPVIL. "We developed the collection around the way women actually move—from training and outdoor walks to errands and weekends—so performance does not have to come at the expense of personality or ease."
ColorSoft™ brings POPVIL's "Wear the Good Mood" philosophy from vacations into movement and everyday life, with activewear designed to help women feel good in what they wear.
The ColorSoft™ Collection is now available at popvil.com and through the official POPVIL TikTok Shop, @popvil_official. The collection includes sports tanks, leggings, active sets and active dresses, with additional silhouettes and colorways planned.
