Abstract
The invention relates to the online regulation of a batch process in a bioreactor. According to the invention, spectra of the actual charge in the bioreactor are recorded at successive points during the running batch process. A measuring vector is produced, for each spectrum, in the low-dimensional main constituent region by the main constituent analysis of the high-dimensional spectra. The deviation is calculated between the measuring vector and a corresponding vector of a nominal trajectory consisting of measuring vectors of a reference charge, which are determined in an earlier batch process, and at least one adjustment operation for the batch process is determined and carried out according to said deviation. The direction of the adjustment operation is maintained when the deviation determined from one point to the next decreases, and modified when the deviation determined from one point to the next remains the same or increases.

9. A method for online regulation of a batch process in a bioreactor, comprising:
-
recording spectra of a current batch in the bioreactor at consecutive points in time during the batch process; creating a measuring vector for each spectrum in a low-dimensional primary component region through a primary component analysis of the high-dimensional spectra; determining a deviation between the measuring vector and a corresponding vector of a nominal trajectory which consists of measuring vectors of a reference batch determined in an earlier batch process; determining an adjustment operation for the batch process based on the deviation; and executing the adjustment operation in the batch process, wherein the direction of the adjustment operation is retained if the deviation determined from one point in time to another point in time is lower, and the direction of the adjustment operation is changed if the deviation determined from one point in time to another point in time remains the same or is greater. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13)
