Lonza
Full monitoring throughout bioprocess
For Swiss-based Lonza, one of the world’s leading and most trusted suppliers to the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and specialty raw materials markets, process reliability and product quality are paramount.
Plant downtime and calibration times should be reduced to a minimum. To keep the risks in bio production as low as possible, an increase in calibration frequency is required. The self-calibrating iTHERM TrustSens temperature sensor was used for test purposes over a period of four months in a buffer tank located in a pilot plant fermenter in the bioprocess plant.
The advantage of this sensor is that it performs an automated inline self-calibration at 118°C during each SIP process (Steam in Place) and reports any deviations to the distributed control system using the HART protocol.
Fully automated and traceable calibration during the process can reduce the risk of undetected measurement errors to a minimum.
