Summary
New calibration models address probe variations in multiplexed spectroscopy for bioprocess monitoring. This dual calibration strategy improves accuracy in analyzing spectral data from multiple bioreactors.
Area of Science:
- Analytical Chemistry
- Biotechnology
- Process Analytical Technology (PAT)
Background:
- Biopharmaceutical manufacturing often uses multiple bioreactors in parallel for large-scale production.
- In situ monitoring via multiplexed fiber-optic spectroscopy generates complex spectral data.
- Variations in optical probe properties introduce significant noise, hindering accurate analysis with standard methods.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop a novel calibration model for analyzing spectral data from multiplexed probes in bioprocesses.
- To mitigate the impact of probe-specific optical variations on spectral data accuracy.
- To enhance the reliability of in situ monitoring in large-scale biomanufacturing.
Main Methods:
- Proposed a new calibration model explicitly incorporating multiplicative parameters for each optical probe.
- Implemented a "dual calibration" strategy to counteract probe-induced spectral variations.
- Validated the model on MIR ternary mixture data and NIR bioprocess data sets.
Main Results:
- The proposed multiplex calibration model effectively mitigated detrimental effects from probe differences.
- Achieved significantly more accurate predictions compared to standard multivariate linear calibration models (e.g., PLS).
- Demonstrated superior performance over empirical preprocessing methods like OSC, SNV, and MSC.
Conclusions:
- The novel calibration model offers a robust solution for analyzing complex spectral data from multiplexed probes.
- This approach improves the accuracy and reliability of in situ bioprocess monitoring.
- Enables more efficient and precise control of large-scale biopharmaceutical manufacturing processes.
