Innovators at Rentschler Biopharma are continuously developing new processes for biopharmaceutical production to tackle life-threatening diseases. Two of them, Dr Birgit Ehrenberg, Process Manager, and Monika Häußler, Quality Control (QC) Manager, shared insights into their latest projects and how close collaboration with chromatography experts from Tosoh Bioscience helped them develop robust, scalable, and economically viable downstream processes, as well as corresponding reliable bioanalytical methods.
SciVario® twin Bioprocess Controller: Addressing Current and Future Needs
ProductsIncreasing the efficiency of bioprocess workflows is key to stay competitive. The SciVario twin helps to develop and optimize processes in terms of time and cost efficiency. All critical process parameters can be precisely controlled directly at the controller’s touch screen. Regardless of the research segment, it is suitable for microbial and cell culture applications. The innovative bay-drawer system enables the system to flexibly adapt to unique requirements and changing processes. Eppendorf will offer updates with new functional modules, support for more, larger bioreactors, and additional software features to make the SciVario twin a future-proof solution.
