Bioprocessing and biomanufacturing
Strategies for scaling complex next-generation biologics
As biologic drug formats grow more sophisticated, scalable success depends on embedding manufacturability, analytics and quality thinking into molecular design from the very beginning of development.
Precision control for target protein degraders
Target protein degraders offer therapeutic potential, yet their high potency, poor solubility and ultra-low administered doses place significant demands on formulation science, analytical capability, containment and scalable manufacture. Successful development requires solubility enhancement, particle engineering, excipient design, high-potency containment and process development to be considered together from the earliest programme stages.
Redefining the standard for recessed lighting in the pharmaceutical industry
Pharmaceutical and chemical manufacturing facilities present some of the most demanding lighting challenges in industry, combining explosive atmospheres, stringent hygiene requirements and complex regulatory requirements. Raytec examines how explosion-protected LED solutions are redefining safety, performance and compliance across hazardous area applications.
Closing the data integrity gap in pharmaceutical quality control
Pharmaceutical quality control laboratories face growing pressure to strengthen data integrity as regulators scrutinise incomplete records, manual data entry, and disconnected systems.

Transforming mycoplasma testing for faster biotherapeutic quality control
As biotherapeutic manufacturing accelerates, rapid PCR-based methods are enabling manufacturers to detect mycoplasma contamination sooner. However, realising their full potential requires robust validation, risk-based implementation and integration with a wider contamination-control strategy.
CHO perfusion model lifts yield by letting cellular waste build up
A hybrid model built into commercial software and running a self-driving bioreactor has found that unmeasured cellular waste, not the usual metabolites, throttles perfusion yields.
Troubleshooting capping defects in brittle tablet formulations
Cam-driven technology optimises the compaction process by maintaining consistent tablet hardness across turret speeds, enabling robust, scalable manufacturing of capping-prone blends.
What Annex 22 spells for AI in GMP manufacturing
Europe’s first dedicated framework for artificial intelligence in GMP manufacturing is close to finalisation and it is more demanding and more consequential than many manufacturers may currently appreciate.

Breaking the biomanufacturing mould: a patient-centric CDMO approach
Helen Bickley, Chief Quality Officer, FUJIFILM Biotechnologies reveals a new agile approach to biologics production that adopts a modular strategy for greater flexibility and ease.
Real-time Raman spectroscopy closes bioprocess control measurement gap
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
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.
