Customer challenges
Downstream phase process development requires a PAT that accommodates reduced volumes and shorter cycle times. However, efficiency improvements for downstream applications are hindered by technological challenges, such as reliance on extractive analytical methods for composition measurement, slow response times, insufficient nominal ranges, background interferences, and more. The complexity of purification steps, driven by intensified upstream processes, needs innovative downstream solutions.
Our solution
Alvotech chose Endress+Hauser to test in-line Raman spectroscopy in upstream and downstream process development. The selected Raman system is tailored for downstream flow paths, leveraging signal amplification and low-noise technology to deliver faster results. It consists of the following components:
