Real-time insight into bioprocesses is no longer a vision — it’s becoming reality.
In collaboration with Markus K. Friis, Department of Biological and Chemical Engineering at Aarhus University, our VOC sensing technology is being explored for monitoring methanol in the off-gas during bioreactor cultivations.
The results so far are highly encouraging: The sensor shows clear, dynamic responses to methanol feeding — opening the door to real-time process monitoring and smarter control strategies.
Even more exciting: These experiments are embedded in advanced ¹³C-based metabolic flux analysis, linking off-gas signals with intracellular metabolism. This creates a powerful foundation for:
→ Smarter feeding strategies
→ Improved process efficiency
→ Data-driven bioprocess control
Calibration and detailed modelling are currently ongoing — but the direction is clear:
Off-gas sensing can become a key enabler for next-generation bioprocessing.
