The analytical capabilities of Stratyx™ 250 continue to evolve, with the addition of viable cell density (VCD) monitoring followed by continuous in-situ pCO₂ measurement. When combined with Console’s ability to integrate and visualize these measurements alongside other process data, scientists can gain a more detailed understanding of changing process conditions and how they relate to overall bioprocess performance.

In a preliminary 14-day CHO fed-batch study, continuous pCO₂ monitoring was evaluated using Hamilton CO2NTROL optical probes, with measurements compared against offline Nova Flex2 analysis. Recording data every five minutes generated 3,980 measurements per vessel compared with just 15 offline samples, a 265-fold increase in measurement density.

The online measurements showed a strong correlation (r = 0.974) with offline results and revealed a prolonged low-pCO₂ excursion lasting up to 138 hours below 15 mmHg, a period captured by only two offline samples.

These findings highlight how expanded monitoring capabilities, paired with connected data in Console, can provide deeper process insights and support more informed decisions throughout bioprocess development.
