Real-time Raman spectroscopy closes bioprocess control measurement gap

2026-04-28T11:38:00+01:00By 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.
