Frequently Asked Questions - Food & Ingredients
The implementation of a Design of Experiment (DOE) strategy will allow you to optimize the development of your final product (texture, taste, quality, and yield) and assure consistency and reproducibility while reducing time to market. Implementing data analytics software can help you answer the following questions: Can you meet cost and quality metrics? What will be the approximate cost of your finished product? How will your current recipe react to raw material variations? What variables will most affect your finished product?
Ambr® 250 Modular is an innovative, easy-to-use, expandable benchtop system that incorporates 2 to 8 fully integrated single-use 100-250 mL mini bioreactors. It has a wide range of applications in process optimization and process characterization.
Cell-cultured meat production requires scalable multi-use or single-use bioreactors for every stage of development, from clone selection and process development to pilot and full commercial production, including perfusion processing. Scalable, multi-parallel systems based on your needs help you quickly move from the early stages of clean meat discovery and development to mass production. In addition to high throughput systems and scalability, you need an easy-to-use platform that will automate much of the process to control oxygen levels, pH, temperature, in addition to advanced PAT such as Raman, cell capacitance, off-gas concentrations and higher-level recipe control.
