Networking for progress in bio-process analytics
What do beer, many vaccines or treated wastewater have in common? Biotechnological processes are involved in the production of all these substances and must be monitored and controlled so that they can work optimally. For this purpose, it is necessary to analyze the processes very precisely and preferably gapless and in real time. It is the goal of the Bio-PAT network to further develop the necessary process analytical technologies (PAT) specifically for bioprocesses.
A
lmost 50 users and interested parties accepted the invitation of the Berlin-based Bio-PAT cooperation network to a workshop meeting on December 4, 2019 at the premises of Knauer Wissenschaftliche Geräte GmbH. “Current developments in PAT and soft sensor technologies” was the title of the event. The event started at 12:30 pm with an introduction to the BioPAT network and the company Knauer, followed by a guided tour of the premises, during which the workshop participants
Managing Director Alexandra Knauer from host Knauer Wissenschaftliche Geräte GmbH opened the event
were able to get an impression of the high-precision production of parts, the modern assembly of equipment and the laboratory of the hosting company Knauer and already got into conversation. Some visitors found it very remarkable that a medium-sized company like Knauer has such a high vertical range of manufacture – the laboratory measuring instruments are almost completely manufactured in Berlin. Managing Director Dr.-Ing. Anika Bockisch and CEO Prof. Dr.
In the following part, members of the network gave exciting lectures on the measurement technology areas of chromatography systems, sensors for gas analysis, ion-selective electrodes, in-
