Advancing sensor technologies improve choices and reliability

Today’s demanding biopharmaceutical manufacturing operations require careful control of process conditions, whether during cell culture, purification or drug product formulation. Process sensors play a critical role in enabling high-performance manufacturing by providing real-time visibility into how a process attribute is changing as well as the ability to correlate that change with the stage of the process.

“In the pharmaceutical industry, it is extremely valuable to see how an attribute changes with time and correlate that change with part of the process,” says L. Harry Lam, Ph.D., a biopharmaceutical manufacturing industry expert. “It is imperative to have effective equipment that provides reliable measurements.”
