Scaling Bioprocess Automation from Process Development to Commercial Manufacturing
Webinar
In this webinar, you will learn how an automated aseptic sampling solution:
- Is implemented in a Process Development (PD) lab
- Scales-up from a PD to a GxP environment
- Enables accurate, hands-off analysis of cell culture process parameters
- Achieves automated sampling at long distances (>100 feet) to fit ballroom-layout manufacturing facilities
