Cell Culture Medium Development And Analysis For Bioproduction

Much of the increase in productivity since the start of the bioproduction era decades ago has been due to optimization of cell culture media to support cellular health and to maximize product productivity and quality. With this advancement in media formulation and feed strategies, there is increased need for robust analytical tools. Many of the classical methods of media analysis were burdensome, slow, expensive, and limiting.

New microfluidic technologies have advanced over classical analytical methods by providing near-instantaneous readings, at-line, with a simple to operate device within a small footprint. These advances in medium analysis should support the industry into the future with expanded capabilities that ensure high productivity and consistent product quality.
