Abstract

The pharmaceutical industry has witnessed exponential growth in production volumes, driven by factors such as an aging global population and the COVID-19 pandemic. To meet the demand for high product quality alongside increased productivity, there is a growing emphasis on developing innovative Fermentation Analytical Technology (FAT) and Process Analytical Technology (PAT) tools for real-time performance monitoring, modeling, measurement, and control. Building on our earlier work involving in-line monitoring of Bordetella pertussis fermentations using fluorescence spectroscopy, this review explores and compares the applications of vibrational and fluorescence spectroscopy for real-time bioprocess monitoring. We examine recent technological advancements and ongoing challenges in the field. Various spectroscopic techniques are evaluated in terms of cost-effectiveness and practical applicability, with a particular focus on in-line spectroscopy as a promising, low-cost solution for effective bioprocess monitoring.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
