Reactions and Separations
Gregory T. Benz
This article offers guidance on how to design appropriate experiments to measure scalable data for agitation in both aerobic and anaerobic bioreactors.

Using Genomic Tools to Improve the Production of Biologics

November
2009
SBE Special Section
Nitya M. Jacob, Wei-Shou Hu, Bernard Liat Wen Loo, and Miranda Yap , Wei shou Hu
Recombinant DNA technology transforms mammalian cells into factories for protein-based therapeutics. New techniques provide chemical engineers with a better understanding of the process as well as the cells themselves.

Principles of Bioprocess Control

November
2009
SBE Special Section
Joseph S. Alford
The use of complex living organisms, process variation, and lack of real-time measurements of key parameters are some of the challenges involved in automating a bioprocess. This article explains an indirect approach to monitoring and controlling a...

Minimize Scale-Up Risk
