Points to consider when buying a bioprocess software

 

1. What is the purpose of the bioprocess software?

There is no universal solution covering all needs in the laboratory. Creating a User Requirement Specification (URS) will help you to define your specific needs.

Users with basic requirements may only control a single bioreactor and monitor the bioprocess with real data. In this case a modern, built-in HMI is the better choice instead of a specialized software.

If you consider the entire batch planning several devices, which includes event- or time-based control you should consider a SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) software. Working in a GMP validated environment may require even more comprehensive features which are often provided by LIMS (Laboratory Information Management System).

Our tip: Divide a list of available features into must have, should have and could have categories, then the different software levels can be compared to your list in an objective way.

 

2. Which licencing model do you prefer?

Usually, you will have the choice between a perpetual model and a subscription model. With a perpetual license, the software is installed, registered, and remains the property of the user. An additional maintenance contract will be needed to keep the software up to date.

A subscription model however is based on a server in the cloud. The software is installed locally but will cease to be (fully) operational when the fee is not paid on a monthly or annual basis.

The subscription model has become the preferred way of software purchasing

 

3. Which devices should be connected to the bioprocess software?

Make sure that your lab equipment is compatible with the software. Various protocols are used to connect shakers, bioreactors or analytical devices to a software. The most common protocols are OPC XML DA, OPC DA, and OPC UA.

Key Reasons to Use Bioprocess Software with Incubator Shakers

In today’s world, bioprocess software solutions are an essential tool for modern laboratories. Bioprocesses are controlled using process data and optimized with the help of mathematical models based on the gathered data. Manual experiment planning and data documentation cannot keep up with this in the long term. Inefficiency, duplication of work, a lack of planning and poor or inconsistent data quality can have devastating consequences. If you want to have the quality, cost, and time-to-market of your products under control, it is essential to consistently digitize your bioprocesses – starting with the preculture in the incubator shaker.

How Soft-Sensors Can Help You Unlock the Full Potential of Bioprocess Data

Decisive bioprocess parameters such as biomass and product concentration or metabolite concentrations in the medium are often not directly measurable, requiring offline sampling which does not provide immediate results. Despite the development of new measuring systems and probes, not every parameter can always be measured directly online. This can be remedied by soft-sensors (sometimes also called software sensors), which calculate the desired parameter based on a model or a simple correlation of known measured values.

The Different Levels of Bioprocess Software: How They Address Specific User Requirements and Finding the Right One for You

Providing a single software solution to suit the full range and diversity of all biological cultivations would be an impossible task. A universal solution would be over-specified and expensive for most users, whilst similarly, a basic solution may not provide enough capabilities to suit all needs. This overview explores different user requirements and their best choice of bioprocess software.
