NIR has a great potential for in-line and at-line monitoring of bioprocess media and has been used for such applications since the early 1990s. Product titer yield can be enhanced by predicting key analytes in a bioreactor in real-time, allowing for timely control and optimization of nutrient levels as well as checking ammonia and lactate concentration. Both mammalian and microbial cell cultures have been monitored with our laboratory and process instruments with the accuracy and reliability of off-line chemistry methods.
Common biotechnology analytes include: glucose, lactate, ammonia, glutamine, glutamate, product titer, acetate and biomass.
