Customer challenges
Downstream phase process development requires a PAT that accommodates reduced volumes and shorter cycle times. However, efficiency improvements for downstream applications are hindered by technological challenges, such as reliance on extractive analytical methods for composition measurement, slow response times, insufficient nominal ranges, background interferences, and more. The complexity of purification steps, driven by intensified upstream processes, needs innovative downstream solutions.
