Bioprocess Simulation: Why the Industry Needs To Embrace Engineering Rather Than Empirical Approaches?
By Roger-Marc Nicoud in Bioprocess International
In 1903, the Wright brothers built the first functioning airplane, and botanist Mikhail Tsvet became the first scientist to use chromatography to separate components of a solution (carotene pigments, in his case).
Now, 120 years later, new airplanes...

Mechanistic modeling can help switch from batch to continuous: Myth or Fact?
Fact
Once model parameters have been determined with a single column system , they can be used to perform simulations of multicolumn chromatography (MCC) with any number of columns.
Calculating key performance indicators (KPIs) for both single...

Mechanistic modeling can help secure scale-up: Myth or Fact?
Fact
Unlike statistical models which are based on correlations and are only valid for their calibration data set, mechanistic model parameters have an actual physical meaning and can be applied to different process setups and process scales.
