Smarter bioprocessing starts here: Waters’ advanced PAT solutions, from upstream to downstream
The increasing demand for process analytical technologies in biopharma is a result of pressure from the market and regulatory agencies to reduce development times, improve yield and transition to lights-out manufacturing - while maintaining product quality. Waters Technologies offers a complementary set of advanced PAT tools that address these needs in upstream and downstream processing for biopharmaceuticals and gene therapies: BioAccord™ at-line, walk-up LC-MS, PATrol™ online UPLC with automated process sampling, and ultraDAWN™ real-time MALS & DLS for inline and online monitoring of biophysical attributes. This webinar will provide an overview of these three instruments and how they are used to accelerate process development and improve process control.
Key Learning Objectives:
- How Waters’ PAT solutions integrate with upstream and downstream unit operations and digital infrastructure
- How this suite of PAT technologies positions Waters as a strategic partner in advancing biopharmaceutical and gene therapy manufacturing
- How Waters’ PAT solutions differ from its analytical lab instrumentation
