Scale-Up and Scale-Down in Biopharma

Why Novel PAT Solutions Are Critical to Both

Program Overview

  • Effective models for scale-up and scale-down
  • Root-cause analysis in biopharma
  • The role of leading-edge process analytics

Efficiency, Consistency, and Reliability.

The need for novel biopharmaceuticals is ever-growing. To meet demand, biopharma companies are expanding their production pipelines to greater industrial scales. Companies have also been pushing towards higher yield and productivity rates by shifting gears on biomanufacturing floors towards fed-batch and perfusion in single-use platforms, especially in cell-culture expression systems.

Long before all these novel biomanufacturing developments were at hand, bioprocess engineers knew that the highest titers and productivity rates can only be achieved by effective scale-up models. They’ve also known that the number of batch losses cannot be minimized without an economical and robust scale-down model.

But where do uniform, intelligent, and reliably precise Process Analytical Technology (PAT) solutions stand in achieving these objectives? The answer is at the very pinnacle of both scale-up and scale-down models. 

Join our live webinar where we’ll review what goes into effective models for scale-up and down, and dive deep into how today’s novel PAT solutions are making a clear mark in this area.
