In-line sensor for measuring glucose and lactate concentrations
Based on YOKOGAWA's original calibration model and instrumentation, the concentration of glucose and lactic acid in the culture medium can be measured in real-time and with high accuracy based on the absorption characteristics of near-infrared light.
In-line sensor to measure live cell density
Based on YOKOGAWA's original calibration model, the live cell density can be measured in real time from changes in the capacitance characteristics of the cell suspension. The unique calibration model also maintains high accuracy throughout the entire cell culture timeline, from seeding to high cell densities.
Soft sensor for estimating glucose consumption rates in real time
A model prediction and control algorithm processes the data obtained by the in-line sensors and outputs a highly accurate glucose consumption rate trend in real time.
Advanced control to automatically control glucose concentration
An advanced control algorithm designed specifically for cell culture provides accurate and automatic control of glucose based on in-line sensor values. Peristaltic pump systems dynamically deliver sterile glucose solution as needed to maintain the glucose set-point concentration value.

A critical requirement in biopharmaceutical development is the integration and automation of process equipment and analytical instruments used in the laboratory. Bioprocess labs with multiple lab-scale bioreactors often execute cultivation experiments in parallel for research or process development purposes.
As part of a collaboration between Securecell (Zurich, SW) and Yokogawa Life Science (Tokyo, Japan), this application note demonstrates the effective use of the Lucullus® Process Information Management System (Lucullus®) to assist in the control of three Advanced Control Bioreactor Systems (BR1000) to study glucose utilization of CHO cells for optimal monoclonal antibody productivity.
This paper describes how the Yokogawa BR1000 bioreactor can be used to automate through real-time sensing and improve productivity through accurate and efficient glucose control.

The integration of all essential probes, instruments, software, and delivery systems for automated delivery of media concentrations of key components can be a daunting task. We have created a default control algorithm and next generation integrated system for CHO cell expression of biologics that can be customized in as little as three optimization runs.
By employing a proprietary self-learning predictive-control algorithm, continuous glucose adjustments are made, resulting in high cell counts, better viability, and improved biologic yield. The technology can speed process development and open new possibilities for control of biopharmaceutical production.
Key Topics:
- Soft-sensor use for real-time process control
- Software use for accurate cell models
- Dynamic predictive control for glucose feeding
Integration of process analytical technologies (PAT) with bioreactor control systems is critical for automation of glucose feed management in mammalian cell culture. The Yokogawa BR1000 Advanced Control Bioreactor System comprehensively integrates in-line sensing, intelligent model predictive control software, CHO cell model development capabilities, and automated reagent delivery.
During this webinar and user experience event, attendees will:
- See how customized cell models can be created specifically for any cell expression system
- Get a close-up look at the BR1000's user-friendly design
- Learn what sets the BR1000 apart from typical bioreactors
- View a video demonstration of the instrument's set-up, calibration, prep, loading, and start-up

To demonstrate the power of data collection and integration for bioprocess control, we have applied the Lucullus® Process Information Management System (Securecell) together with the BR1000 Advanced Control Bioreactor System (Yokogawa). In this joint webinar, it will be shown how Lucullus plays a key role in the automated control of three BR1000 bioreactors during a glucose-shift study to optimize monoclonal antibody productivity in CHO cells.
See how streamlined workflows and data management across laboratory devices, users and software systems can lead to new options and advance biologic development activities in this example.
