Pharmaceutical fermentation

Fermentation is a process used for cultivating micro-organisms or other organic material into important pharmaceuticals such as antibiotics, therapeutic proteins, enzymes and insulin. It is typically carried out in temperature-controlled tanks (fermenter) which require addition of nutrients at the correct concentration to maximize productivity of the organism of interest.

Learn how real-time liquid concentration measurements by Vaisala K-PATENTS® Pharma Refractometer, can help you:

Monitor continuously the degree of fermentation and fermentation conversion.
Gather understanding for identifying the fermentation endpoint.
Identify immediately the need for nutrients addition.
Control nutrients solution concentration and reduce costs by using only the amount required.
Automatically control fermenter feed-valves.
