Preventing Yield Loss During Fermentation Scale-Up: A Data-First Approach

Scale-up transfer failures are among the most costly events in a CDMO's operations. A look at how early deviation detection changes the calculus at each transition point.

What Golden Batch Modeling Actually Means for a Specialty CDMO

Golden batch models are only as good as the historical run data behind them. Here is how the modeling process works when applied to real CDMO program data.

OPC-UA Integration for Bioreactor Data: What CDMOs Need to Know

OPC-UA is the standard data exchange protocol for pharmaceutical process control systems, but connecting historian data to analytics software is not always straightforward.

Batch Record Preparation in Bioprocess
Operations Mar 27, 2026

Batch Record Preparation Takes 4-8 Hours Per Run. It Does Not Have To.

Regulatory-grade batch records require complete traceability of every process parameter. Automated assembly from live sensor data can cut that burden significantly.

DeltaV Historian Process Analytics

Getting Useful Analytics from DeltaV Historian Data

Emerson DeltaV historian stores every process variable from a fermentation run, but extracting actionable insight from that archive requires more than trend queries.

Dissolved Oxygen Deviations in Fermentation

Dissolved Oxygen Deviations: The Early Indicator Most CDMOs Miss

Dissolved oxygen trajectories often carry the first signal of a developing batch failure, yet most control system dashboards do not surface these patterns until the alarm threshold is crossed.

Mammalian vs Microbial Fermentation at CDMOs

Mammalian vs. Microbial Fermentation: Different Process Challenges, Same Data Problem

Mammalian and microbial fermentation campaigns share a common bottleneck: process variability that is visible in the sensor data but invisible to operators in real time.

Benchling ELN Bioprocess Integration

Why Bioprocess Alert Delivery Belongs in the ELN, Not a Separate Dashboard

Process engineers already live in their ELN during an active fermentation campaign. Routing deviation alerts and batch summaries into Benchling or SciNote removes one more context switch.
