Abstract
This study will investigate the use of Near Infra Red (NIR) to simultaneously monitor multiple components in the process fluids of 5 industrially relevant bioprocesses by means of in situ steam sterilisable probes. We will seek to develop correlations between primary analytical data and NIR spectral data for biomass, relevant substrates (e.g. glucose, oil), and by products (e.g. acetate, lactate, ammonia) in these complex fed batch processes. If this phase is successful we will use the improved monitoring capability to investigate the physiology and kinetics of these industrially relevant bioprocesses.
