Real-time fingerprint of the bio-system

The bioprocess system (bacterial, yeast/ fungal, mammalian cells) behaves as a colloid suspension undergoing physicochemical changes upon growth, such as:


  • Bio-particle cross-linking (cell clumping, aerial mycelium formation in filamentous)
  • Cultures, extra-cellular polymer formation, apoptosis
  • Protein aggregation (antibodies) foaming

 

These changes can be described in terms of properties such as density, volume fraction, shear modules and radius of the bio-particles.

 

Our software sensor provides a profile as a characteristic fingerprint of the dynamic bioculture.
