Webinar Description:

This webinar describes how the new NORMA technology for viable cell density and viability measurement compares with the traditionnal trypan blue exclusion method for monitoring of cell culture in bioreactor at GSK. We present differents case studies including culture media conditions with a focus on data obtained in real time form NORMA cell counter that is integrated onto an Ambr15 microbioreactor. A short introduction of the instruments and physical behind this new technology is provided.

Learning Objectives:

• Learn why GSK is interested in the NORMA technology for VCD and viability
• Learn the adavantages of NORMA technology in High-througput cell culture monitoring monitoring
• Learn how the NORMA 4S is seamlessly integrated to into an Ambr15 microbioreactor
• Learn why IPRASENSE is the future method for VCD from early cell line development to late PD and GMP manufacturing
