Near IR applied to Mammalian Cell Cultivation • Industrial CHO-K1 cell line • In-situ NIR using transflectance measurements (1.2 mm pathlength) • 2 Liter bioreactor run for 168 –240 hours, including a temperature change • Developed NIR calibrations for: • Glucose • Glutamine • Lactate • Ammonia Ref: SA Arnold, J Crowley, N Woods, LM Harvey, and B McNeil, Biotech and Bioeng 84(1), 13-19 (2003).
Direct In-Line Analysis in Mammalian Cell Cultivation • Direct fermenter interface • Standard Ingold ports • Optimized for specific analytes/matrices • Dedicated analysis on defined media • Simultaneous results <1 minute • Monitoring and closed-loop control • Pilot plant/scale-up operations and manufacturing Direct Sample Interface
Summary of NIR Results for CHO cell work Multifactor PLS calibrations developed on second derivative spectra with 217 samples
