Process Development
Partner with our scientists on any part of your process that needs the work — feasibility, expansion, media, yield, quality, differentiation, and scale-up in Vertical-Wheel® Bioreactors.

Extend Your Team with Vertical-Wheel Expertise
Whether you need a focused feasibility study, process optimization, or a complete development program, our scientists work as an extension of your team to meet your goals. Processes are developed and characterized in PBS Biotech laboratories, generating process data, operating strategies, and documentation that support technology transfer and manufacturing readiness.
Assess process feasibility and scalability before committing significant resources.
Apply structured, data-driven studies to identify conditions that support your process goals.
Build the process understanding and documentation needed for effective technology transfer.
Feasibility & proof-of-concept: establish growth, viability, phenotype, and other process-relevant quality attributes on the Vertical-Wheel.
Multiplexed DoE studies: Conduct complex, multiplexed studies for media, feed, and other process-variable screening.
Process characterization: Define operating ranges, process viability, and robustness to strengthen process understanding.
2D-to-3D: Evaluate the transition from static or adherent workflows to scalable 3D suspension processes.
Scale-up characterization: Develop CFD-informed operating parameters and scale-up strategies across Vertical-Wheel bioreactors.
Technology-transfer package: Receive process reports, supporting data, and operating guidance for internal or external transfer and manufacturing readiness.
From Kickoff to Transferable Process
We align on your cell type, targets, and timeline in a technical kickoff.
Our scientists execute the study in our internal development lab.
Data is reviewed together, with clear go/no-go recommendations.
You receive a documented, transferable process and set points.
