The Importance and Practice of Process Parameter Monitoring in Biopharmaceuticals Explored
2024-09-24

The biopharmaceutical industry, as an important part of China's strategic emerging industries, has achieved world-renowned results in recent years. With the rapid development of biotechnology, more and more biopharmaceuticals have been successfully marketed, bringing the gospel to many patients. However, the biopharmaceutical process is characterized by complexity and uncertainty, and the monitoring and control of parameters in the production process is particularly important. In this paper, we will focus on "Biopharmaceutical process parameter monitoring" to discuss its importance and practical application in the biopharmaceutical industry.



Importance of Biopharmaceutical process parameter monitoring 21}}

1. Ensure product quality

Biopharmaceutical process, raw materials, process, equipment, environment and other factors will affect product quality. Through real-time monitoring of key parameters, abnormalities can be detected in a timely manner to ensure that the production process is stable, thus ensuring product quality.

2. Improvement of production efficiency

By monitoring the parameters of the biopharmaceutical process, the production process can be optimized and production efficiency can be improved. For example, by monitoring parameters such as dissolved oxygen and pH in the fermenter, stirring speed and aeration can be adjusted to make the fermentation process more stable and increase the yield.

3. Reducing production costs

Real-time monitoring of biopharmaceutical process parameters helps to detect potential problems in advance, avoiding large-scale scrapping during the production process and reducing production costs.

4. Meet regulatory requirements

China's drug regulatory authorities have imposed stringent requirements on the biopharmaceutical production process. Companies need to monitor key parameters in real time to ensure that the production process meets regulatory requirements.


Practical discussion of process parameter monitoring of biopharmaceuticals

1. Selection of suitable monitoring parameters

The selection of monitoring parameters is crucial in the biopharmaceutical process. Enterprises should determine the key parameters according to the production process and product characteristics. The following are some common monitoring parameters:

(1) Temperature: affects the stability and activity of bioactive substances.

(2) pH: affects enzyme activity, microbial growth, etc.

(3) Dissolved oxygen: affects the growth and metabolism of aerobic microorganisms.

(4) Stirring speed: affects oxygen transfer, mixing of nutrients, and so on.

(5) Concentration of fermentation broth: reflects the growth of microorganisms.

2. Selection of monitoring methods

At present, there are the following main methods for monitoring process parameters of biopharmaceuticals:

(1) Sensor monitoring: real-time data acquisition through sensors, with the advantages of high precision and fast response speed.

(2) On-line analytical instruments: real-time analysis of complex components can be realized, but the cost is high.

(3) Manual testing: suitable for occasions with low real-time requirements for monitoring, but with high labor costs.

Enterprises should choose the appropriate monitoring method according to the actual situation.

3. Data Processing and Analysis

The collected monitoring data need to be processed and analyzed in real time, so that abnormalities can be detected in time. Currently, data processing and analysis methods mainly include:

(1) Data preprocessing: removing outliers, smoothing data, etc.

(2) Data analysis: applying statistics, machine learning, etc., to mine valuable information in the data.

(3) Trend prediction: based on historical data, predict future development trends to provide a basis for production decisions.

4. Establishment of Early Warning System

Based on the results of the monitoring data and data analysis, an early warning system is established to provide early warning of potential problems and to guide the production adjustment.


Biopharmaceutical process parameter monitoring is of great significance in ensuring the quality of the product, improving the production efficiency, and reducing the cost of production, etc. The monitoring of biopharmaceutical process parameters is important in ensuring product quality, improving production efficiency and reducing production costs. Enterprises should pay attention to process parameter monitoring, continuously optimize the production process, and improve the overall level of the biopharmaceutical industry. With the development of big data, artificial intelligence and other technologies, biopharmaceutical process parameter monitoring will be more intelligent and precise, contributing to the development of China's biopharmaceutical industry.
