Biopharmaceutical fermentation is a process used in the pharmaceutical industry to produce a wide range of drugs and other therapeutic substances by cultivating microorganisms or cells in a controlled environment. Canty imaging systems significantly enhance fermentation processes by providing detailed, real-time insights into the culture environment by measuring key parameters such as cell size, concentration, and viability directly during fermentation. The systems ensures accurate counts and size distributions down to 0.7 microns (or 0.3 microns with phase contrast), assess cell health, and monitor foam levels.
