Optimize your Biotech Process in all Stages
The concept of process analytical technology (PAT), initially developed in the petrochemical industry involves real-time monitoring and control of product quality during the whole manufacturing process. For biotechnological production processes, optek offers monitoring solutions in stainless and single-use, covering the upstream fermentation processes as well as the downstream purification steps including chromatography and filtration.
