Process Development to GMP Implementation of Raman Spectroscopy as a PAT Tool for the Purification of Protein Based Therapeutics

Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. has successfully integrated Raman Spectroscopy as a Process Analytical Technology (PAT) tool to enhance the robustness of unit operations including Ultrafiltration/Diafiltration (UF/DF) during the purification of protein-based therapeutics. This innovative approach enables real-time, in-line monitoring of critical quality attributes through universal chemometric models, streamlining the transition from process development to GMP implementation.
