HORIBA - Developments in Biopharma processes using Optical Spectroscopy

In April, IBioIC hosted a HORIBA session on the use of fluorescence and spectroscopy for molecular fingerprinting and characterisation. This technique is useful for raw material testing, vaccine production and cell media characterisation/storage. It also has potential use in monoclonal antibody production and gene therapy, useful for in line monitoring for bioreactors and drug interaction.

Highlights included Dr Gioriga Marucci, Regional Product Manager for Fluorescence Spectroscopy talking about A-TEEM (Absorbance – Transmission Excitation Emission Matrix) as the future of PAT and QC/QA in Biopharmaceutical Production, and Dr Adam Holland, Senior Product Manager, Raman and micro-PL Spectroscopy discussing Biopharmaceutical Material and Process improvements guided by Raman spectroscopy.
