FAQs

In silico modeling is a method of using computer simulations to study complex systems, such as cells, in a virtual environment. 

Mechanistic modeling uses the fundamental laws of natural sciences to predict what will happen in the real world. Cell Insights® by Umetrics Studio utilizes mechanistic knowledge about kinetic cellular behavior to generate accurate predictions about cell growth, death, and productivity. 

Yes, Cell Insights by Umetrics® Studio can be used to model a variety of cell-based processes so long as it follows Monod growth kinetics.

Monod kinetics refers to the mathematical model that is used to study cell growth and metabolism in silico. The Monod kinetics model describes the relationship between the growth rate of a microorganism population and the concentration of the limiting nutrient in the environment. 

µ is the growth rate of a considered microorganism                                   
µmax is the maximum specific growth rate coefficient 
[S] is the substrate concentration
KS is the concentration where µ = ½ µmax

To perform basic simulations, at a minimum, the following data is needed:

  • One dataset from a screening experimental design, containing sufficient variations in growth
  • Data should show batch evolution (data over time)
  • In .csv or Excel format

Required variables: Batch ID, time, viable cell density, viability, volume

Optional variables: Process inputs (e.g. DO, pH, temp), metabolites (e.g. glucose, lactate, glutamate), titer, feed, media composition


Using larger datasets will unlock more advanced simulations and is needed to adapt the models to other mammalian cell lines.

An advanced data analytics ecosystem is a single touchpoint for data analytics and management. The ecosystems contain all the necessary tools to ingest, prepare, and discover from data.

Cloud-native technologies empower organizations to build and run scalable tools in private, public, or hybrid cloud environments.

Software as a service (or SaaS) is a software distribution model in which a cloud provider hosts applications and makes them available to end users over the internet.
