From Lab Bench to Literature: Inside a 6-Month Study of Sensor Pill & MPS Technology in Real-World Bioprocessing

Shake flasks have been the workhorse of early bioprocess development for decades. They’re simple, scalable, and indispensable for everything from strain screening to media optimization. But despite their widespread use, one critical limitation has remained: a lack of real-time, high-quality process data. Until now. For the first time ever, real-time, multiparameter monitoring is available in one of bioprocessing’s most essential tools—the humble shake flask.

Join sbi for an exclusive deep dive into a groundbreaking new publication from RWTH Aachen University, recently featured in Biotechnology Progress. This study unveils the Dissolved Oxygen Sensor Pill and Multiparameter Sensor (MPS) technology by sbi. This first-of-its-kind sensor system enables online measurement of biomass, dissolved oxygen, fluorescence, and more—all from standard shake flask cultures. This innovation opens the door to richer data, faster decisions, and more confident scale-up in the earliest stages of process development.
