Rapid, simultaneous monitoring of multiple components in mammalian cell culture with NIR spectroscopy
12 Dec 2023The use of cellular physiology for the production of target molecules has been practised for centuries with early examples being the production of wine and beer via fermentation of yeast. Single-celled organisms (e.g., bacteria and yeast) and multi-celled organisms (plant or animal) can be harnessed to successfully produce otherwise chemically complex or low-yield materials. In this application note from Thermo Fisher Scientific, explore how Fourier transform Near-infrared (FT-NIR) analysis is used as an online multicomponent analytical tool for the bioprocessing industry.

Near Infrared SpectroscopyNear-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy measures the interaction of near-infrared light with a sample, including transmission, reflectance and absorbance, facilitating the identification of analytes. Measurements can be conducted using a Fourier-transform near infrared (FT-NIR) spectrometer, while there are also UV-Vis- NIR spectrophotometers that measure a broader spectrum of wavelengths.

Biological materials used include cells, enzymes and organisms. Usually bioprocessing requires a batch or continuous bioreactor such as a fermentor or cell culture system. The advantages of using a reactor include high productivity, easy configuration, adjustable values and automation.NIRS
