Real-time Raman spectroscopy closes bioprocess control measurement gap

2026-04-28T11:38:00+01:00 Ian Betteridge

Manual sampling cycles leave bioreactor control decisions hours behind culture dynamics. Process Raman spectroscopy offers continuous, real-time measurement of critical parameters, enabling true closed-loop control in perfusion and continuous bioprocessing applications where measurement lag directly impacts yield and product quality.

Process Raman spectroscopy: closing biomanufacturing’s measurement infrastructure gap

2026-04-28T10:59:00+01:00 Ian Betteridge

The biopharmaceutical industry has embraced Pharma 4.0 concepts, but the measurement infrastructure required to realise autonomous facilities and continuous bioprocessing remains underdeveloped. Process Raman spectroscopy offers continuous, non-destructive monitoring at frequencies aligned with cell culture dynamics, bridging the gap between control system capabilities and available data.
