Design of a microfluidic mixer channel: First steps into creating a fluorescent dye-based biosensor for mAb aggregate detection

A major challenge in the transition to continuous biomanufacturing is the lack of process analytical technology (PAT) tools which are able to collect real-time information on the process and elicit a response to facilitate control. One of the critical quality attributes (CQAs) of interest during monoclonal antibodies production is aggregate...

Automation and miniaturization: Enabling tools for fast, high-throughput process development in integrated continuous biomanufacturing

Process development in the biotech industry leads to investments around hundred of millions of dollars. It is important to mitigate costs without neglecting the quality of process development. Biopharmaceutical process development is important for companies to develop new processes and be first to market, improve a pre-established process, or...

White paper on high-throughput process development for integrated continuous biomanufacturing

Continuous manufacturing is an indicator of a maturing industry, as can be seen by the example of the petrochemical industry. Patent expiry promotes a price competition between manufacturing companies, and more efficient and cheaper processes are needed to achieve lower production costs. Over the last decade, continuous biomanufacturing has...
