Our Fermentation Parameter Optimization Services
Strain Screening and Evaluation Services
With access to an advanced strain library and utilizing high-throughput screening technology, we quickly identify high-potential strains for specific fermentation goals (e.g., producing specific metabolites or enzymes) to improve the foundational strain acquisition process. This helps save time and costs related to strain breeding.
We conduct comprehensive biological evaluations of selected strains, including growth curve measurements, metabolite production levels, and tolerance tests (e.g., resistance to temperature, pH, and dissolved oxygen levels). This data supports precise strain characteristics for subsequent fermentation parameter optimization, ensuring the selected strain performs optimally under the optimized fermentation conditions.
Fermentation Process Parameter Monitoring and Analysis Services
Equipped with advanced online fermentation monitoring equipment, we can continuously monitor key parameters during fermentation in real time, such as temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), stirring speed, foam height, and substrate concentration changes (using technologies like online near-infrared spectroscopy or biosensors). The data is collected with high precision (customizable to customer requirements, e.g., per minute or per second).
Our professional data analysis team uses advanced software and algorithms to deeply analyze the collected fermentation parameter data. We construct fermentation process models to identify key parameters affecting fermentation efficiency and product quality, providing targeted optimization suggestions. For example, data analysis may reveal the synergistic effect of specific temperature ranges and dissolved oxygen levels on product synthesis rates, guiding optimization direction.
Fermentation Parameter Optimization Plan Development and Implementation Services
Based on strain characteristics and fermentation process parameter monitoring results, we design a comprehensive fermentation parameter optimization plan tailored to the customer. The plan includes detailed optimization recommendations for temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, stirring speed, and feeding strategies (e.g., feeding timing, rate, and composition optimization). The plan also specifies the adjustment range, steps, and expected outcomes of each parameter, ensuring feasibility and operability.
Our team of professional fermentation engineers implements fermentation trials in our advanced fermentation workshop according to the optimization plan. We strictly control parameter adjustments and continuously track the fermentation process, fine-tuning the plan as necessary to ensure that the optimization objectives—improving fermentation efficiency and increasing product yield and quality—are achieved. Data and insights from the process are shared with the customer to help them successfully replicate and apply the optimized fermentation process in their own production environment.
Fermentation Equipment Adaptation and Modification Consultation
We assess the compatibility of your existing fermentation equipment with the goals of fermentation parameter optimization, including the effectiveness of the stirring mechanism, the design of the aeration system, and the precision and responsiveness of temperature and pH control systems. Based on the evaluation, we provide professional advice and design solutions for equipment modifications, such as optimizing the shape and positioning of the stirrer blades to improve mixing, or upgrading the aeration control system to achieve more precise dissolved oxygen regulation. This ensures optimal equipment performance, minimizing the impact of equipment limitations on fermentation outcomes and achieving the best match between fermentation parameters and equipment conditions.
Quality Control and Stability Assurance Services
Throughout the fermentation parameter optimization process, we strictly follow international quality control standards to monitor and test the quality of fermentation raw materials, strains, culture media, intermediates, and final fermentation products, including purity tests, impurity content analysis, and microbial contamination testing, ensuring the safety and reliability of the entire fermentation process and product quality.
We establish a fermentation process stability assessment system, conducting multiple fermentation trials and long-term stability studies to verify the stability of the optimized fermentation process across different batches and environmental conditions. We provide stability data and assurance measures, such as determining acceptable fluctuations in key process parameters and developing contingency plans for emergencies (e.g., power failure, temperature control issues), ensuring stable and continuous production of high-quality products and reducing production and quality loss risks for the customer.
