Connecting at-line UV-Vis with in-line process Raman for real-time protein and excipient monitoring
Accurate measurement of protein as well as excipient concentration is essential in downstream biopharmaceutical manufacturing and process control, spanning from post-purification stages to final preparation for fill and finish.
Join Dr. Janam Pandya and Patrick Brown as they explore how UV-Vis and Raman spectroscopy work together to deliver a complete picture of bioprocess performance. Learn how rapid, at-line UV-Vis analysis provides precise quantification of highly concentrated protein samples, while complementary, in-line Raman spectroscopy continuously monitors protein concentration and excipients in real time.
By integrating these two optical techniques, scientists can connect fast at-line confirmation with continuous in-line insight, enabling data-driven decisions that enhance process understanding, control, and product quality.
Key learning objectives:
- Understand how UV-Vis and Raman spectroscopy complement one another across at-line and in-line workflows.
- Learn how a new at-line UV-Vis technology enables accurate measurement of highly concentrated protein samples.
- Discover the strengths of process Raman spectroscopy in quantifying protein concentration and excipients in complex matrices.
- Explore how process Raman spectroscopy can be applied for in-line analysis to support process decision-making.
