Project iConsensus: Developing an Integrated Control and Sensing platform for Biopharmaceutical purposes

At the start of March 2018, Micronit joined project iConsensus, a collaborative research consortium formed by experts from academia and industry.

Animal cell technology is widely used in the development and manufacturing of biopharmaceuticals, vaccines, and advanced therapies. The quality of these products is determined by the quality of the cell culture. The iConsensus consortium is developing an integrated platform with analytical methods to monitor, control, and improve cell cultivation. By combining all sorts of control and sensing technologies, the aim is to achieve faster, safer, and more cost-effective production processes.

Main goal of the project

The aim of iConsensus is to develop an integrated control and sensing platform to improve mammalian cell cultivation for biopharmaceutical purposes.
