Optimized Perfusion by Capacitance Process Measurement & Control

Recent studies on biotherapeutic protein production have shown perfusion processes as a superior technology vs. the traditional batch and fed batch approaches. Due to its associated process stability and reducing effect of varying conditions inside the bioreactor, Perfusion can deliver lower production costs and higher titer, especially in the case of low titer or fragile […]

OD600 Measurement Results Using Spectrophotometers & Online OD Instruments

Spectrophotometers can be an excellent tools to monitor the growth phase or determine cell concentrations in microbial fermentation processes. Despite of the fact that these instruments are generally utilized to measure absorbance of particular samples (concentration measurements), spectrophotometers are also used to quantify light scattering running at 600 nm wavelength. This method, commonly known as […]
