Webinar on pH control in bioprocesses

Program Overview

The critical role of in-line pH sensors in lean biomanufacturing
Essential sensor enhancements to measurement reliability
Digitization and predictive sensor diagnostics

Higher Productivity, Greater Yield

Since the inception of biomanufacturing with the advent of recombinant technology in the 1970s, bioprocessing engineers have recognized that pH measurement and control are paramount for process analytical technology pertaining to cellular processes. Aimed at maximizing both productivity and product yield, it soon became evident that the same principles apply to the downstream processing operations involved in the purification of the final product.

Consequently, the in-line real-time combination pH probe has emerged as an indispensable measurement tool within the biomanufacturing environment. The demand for precise and reliable pH measurement and control has only intensified since that time. In this webinar, we will explore the critical role of the in-line pH sensor and its significance in relation to lean biomanufacturing principles. Additionally, we will examine several essential enhancements to measurement reliability, including signal digitalization, drift and offset mitigations, and improved pH glass sensitivity.
