Upstream Bioprocessing: Improving Efficiency Through Digital Tools

The inability to reproduce results from a successful bioprocessing run is not only frustrating for manufacturers but can also increase the costs of drug development and contribute to overall inefficiencies.

Digitalization holds great promise for increasing the efficiency, quality, and reproducibility of upstream bioprocessing. Automation of a bioprocess run, process optimization through modelling and statistical methods, digital solutions for equipment maintenance, and cloud‐based data handling are just a few applications where digitalization is of benefit. This ebook explores the growing world of bioprocess digitalization and automation. In addition, it shows how different culture feeding strategies can be implemented in automation processes by software scripts.
