Monitoring O2 and CO2 Using Benchtop Bioreactors
Thought LeadersDr. Patrick Floris Characterisation and Comparability LabNIBRT
In this interview, Dr Patrick Floris talks to AZoM about experiments in cell culture and the role of off-gas analysis in his research which he performed as part of the collaboration between Thermo Fisher and the Characterization and Comparability Lab at NIBRT
Can You Give an Overview of Your Research Experiments in Cell Culture, in Particular the Experiments Featured in Your Published Material?
The publication of interest discussed typical mammalian cell culture processes using a CHO-K1 host.
Our goal was to use these processes as a template to evaluate the integration of multiple PATs and relatively new technologies, such as the magnetic sector MS from Thermo Fisher, to do online process and product characterization within the same platform.

National, regional and local government bodies require processing companies to carry out monitoring of emissions from plant and flare stacks. This is aimed at reducing levels of pollution which have been entering the atmosphere at an increasing rate.
While oil refinery flares were the initial focus of such interventions, chemical and petrochemical plant flares have also been pinpointed as potential sources of hazardous airborne pollutants.

The EPA signed off on a number of Risk and Technology Review (RTR) rules in March 2020. Among these were the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP): Generic Maximum Achievable Control Technology Standards for Ethylene Production (EMACT).
