Bioprocess Analytics
Faster Insights.
Better Control
Improve product quality, increase product titer, and maintain process robustness with on-line monitoring of glucose and lactate concentration and automated control of feeds and media exchange.
Measure What Matters,
When It Matters
Real-time measurements in upstream bioprocessing are traditionally limited to just a few parameters such as pH, dissolved oxygen, temperature, and agitation speed. Other critical process parameters such as glucose, lactate, and amino acid concentrations are often based on infrequent manual sampling and at-line or off-line analysis at a core or external lab.
Driven by PAT and the demand for greater efficiency, process development teams need more data closer to the point of need.
Less Data = Greater Risk
Having long gaps between measurements hinders the ability to control a bioprocess. Critical process deviations may go unnoticed and uncorrected for hours or days.
An incomplete picture: The periodic offline glucose data points shown above paint an incomplete picture of glucose concentration trends. By contrast, the online, continuous measurement reveals much more detail and process knowledge.
Hidden process errors: Without frequent spent media analysis, errors like the misincorporation of an amino acid (shown above) would be invisible during process development
