Bioprocess Engineering

Modern biotechnology is responsible for the advancement of the pharmaceutical industry. It helped in the production and storage of products like antibiotics, enzymes, vaccines, etc. on a large scale.

A large amount of culture can be obtained by carrying out the multiplication of organisms in the bioreactors under sterile and optimum conditions. We get a higher yield of the required product using bioprocess engineering.

Process

• The host organism containing the rDNA is cultured in a sterile bioreactor by providing suitable growth conditions. The products formed are either released in the growth medium or accumulated inside the cells
• The obtained products are subjected to a series of processes before being marketed.
• The products are purified by a process called downstream processing and formulated by various processes.
• The product undergoes a strict quality check before it is subjected to further trials.
