Small-Scale Analytical Process Monitoring Implementation

A specialty chemical manufacturer in Dayton, Ohio implemented real-time analytical process monitoring on a pilot-scale continuous crystallization unit (0.5 mΒ³ reactor volume) producing pharmaceutical-grade sodium citrate. The project spanned 12 weeks and involved integration of inline Raman spectroscopy, temperature/pressure sensors, and a compact edge-computing platform.

Challenge: High batch-to-batch variability (>8% CV in crystal size distribution) due to und...

Cost Optimization in Analytical Process Monitoring

A Tier-1 pharmaceutical manufacturing facility in Cork, Ireland, producing sterile injectables at 300L–2000L batch scale. The site operates 24/7 with 12 parallel bioreactor trains; analytical process monitoring (APM) previously relied on off-line HPLC and manual sampling for critical quality attributes (CQAs) such as product titer, host cell protein (HCP), and glycan profileβ€”resulting in 4–6 hour analytical turnaround times per batch.

Challenge: Excessive operational cost from redundant off-line assays, high consumable usage...
