Bioprocess Monitoring

BIOPROCESS MONITORING

Raman spectroscopy is a recognized PAT (Process Analytical Tool) that has been seen as a central spectroscopic tool used in bioprocessing. It plays a pivotal role in the monitoring of fermentations, particularly their optimization within the PAT framework and harnesses biological processes for the development of drug therapies, providing treatments that range from small molecule antibiotics to large recombinant proteins.



UPSTREAM BIOPROCESSING

  • Raman spectroscopy technology emerges as a vital tool for upstream Process Analytical Technology (PAT), enabling the monitoring of Critical Quality Attributes (CQAS) in mammalian cell cultures. Tornado's Raman spectroscopy-based analyzers offer an exceptional solution for monitoring Critical Control Parameters (CCP) in CHO cell cultures for monoclonal antibody production.Their HudsonTM Bioreactor Raman Immersion Probe facilitates sterile in-line spectral acquisition, minimizing contamination risks associated with repeated sampling, and enabling in-line real-time monitoring of titer, cell counts, glucose, lactate, osmolality, ammonium, and antibody concentration.

DOWNSTREAM BIOPROCESSING

  • Raman spectroscopy is emerging as a technique for real-time measurements for in-line downstream process control and monitoring.
  • Tornado's HyperFlux PRO Plus is a powerful tool for monitoring downstream protein purification process quality. The HyperFlux PRO Plus equipped with HTVS technology produces highly detailed chemical information, and does so faster, with better signal-to- noise ratios and lower limits of detection. The PRO Plus can be used to establish optimal purification end points, detect process excursions with root cause determinability, enhance process understanding and control of the manufacturing process, and increase yields and profitability.

APPLICATIONS & ADVANTAGES OF RAMAN ANALYSIS

  • Monitoring biological processes such as fermentation
  • Determine end points
  • Optimize equipment turnover
  • Facilitate scale-up
  • Optimize continuous processing
  • Eliminate less efficient monitoring techniques such as HPLC
  • Facilitate QbD
  • Helps meet Right First Time and Zero Defects initiatives
