White Paper: Revolutionizing Mammalian Cell Culture Bioprocesses with Real-Time Glucose Measurement
How Can Real-time Glucose Monitoring Transform Mammalian Cell Culture Bioprocesses?
Glucose is one of the most influential variables shaping cell metabolism, productivity, and the development of critical quality attributes (CQAs) in mammalian cell culture. Even small deviations in glucose concentration can trigger metabolic shifts, lactate accumulation, and variability in product quality.
Yet, most bioprocesses still rely on off‑line or at‑line assays and complex spectroscopic systems that provide delayed, intermittent, or calibration‑intensive data. These limitations restrict timely process control, especially during fast metabolic transitions in fed‑batch and perfusion cultures.
Why Does Real‑Time, In‑Situ Glucose Measurement Matter?
Our white paper examines why glucose remains one of the most challenging critical process parameters to monitor in real time and how existing analytical approaches fall short of modern Process Analytical Technology (PAT) and Quality‑by‑Design (QbD) expectations.
It introduces GlucoSense, a new optical, infrared-based glucose sensor designed to deliver continuous, drift-resistant, and minimal-calibration measurement directly inside the bioreactor. This supports proactive nutrient control and data-driven process development from R&D through to manufacturing/
