Ask the Expert: In-Line Concentration Measurement for Adaptive Control of Downstream Processes

In-line process analytical technologies (PATs) hold much promise for enhancing control of biopharmaceutical manufacturing processes and, in turn, increasing process quality and reproducibility. During a January 2022 presentation, Ramsey Shanbaky (associate director of bioprocess applications at Repligen) described how his company’s CTech FlowVPX system for in-line protein concentration measurement enhances monitoring of downstream processes. Shanbaky’s Presentation Scientists often use ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy (UV-vis) to measure protein concentration in a drug substance (DS) or product (DP). Most UV-vis instruments determine that by…
