PAT

In order to evaluate the application of PAT tools to the development and commercialization of a bioprocess, BioPhorum conducted a benchmarking survey of biopharmaceutical companies and published the results in Biotechnology and Bioengineering journal. The results obtained in the survey can guide scientists and new manufacturers in terms of quality product development and all the stakeholders including funding agencies to assess the business value of tools and techniques employed during biologics manufacturing. This article published in Medicine Innovates is a synopsis of the paper

To evaluate the application of PAT tools to the development and commercialization of a bioprocess, BioPhorum conducted a benchmarking survey of biopharmaceutical companies and published the results in Biotechnology and Bioengineering journal. Investigators assessed fifteen companies receiving seventeen responses from them and evaluated more than 20 different types of PAT tools in manufacturing using an industry-wide assessment to identify and rank the tools based on technological attributes such as technology maturity, ability to enable process control, and ease of implementation, as well as their business value such as simplicity of implementation, lead time, and cost reduction.
