MilliporeSigma has enhanced its bioprocess portfolio through the acquisition of RESOLUTION Spectra Systems, a provider of bioprocess analytical monitoring. The company offers Raman spectroscopy analysis through its GMP-ready instrumentation and software. Financial details were not disclosed.

RESOLUTION Spectra Systems specializes in bioprocessing monitoring sensors based on Raman technology, which provide real-time monitoring and process control; measure a broad range of bioprocessing parameters; and monitor all parameters simultaneously with a single probe.

This acquisition supports MilliporeSigma’s recently launched Bio4C Software Suite, a first-of-its-kind ecosystem that combines process control, analytics and plant-level automation.

Raman technology’s bioprocess monitoring sensors complement the “collect” dimension of the Bio4C Software Suite, as it provides real-time process analytics across multiple critical process parameters via in-line measurement. By combining these Raman technology sensors with the software to manage the data that they provide, MilliporeSigma is able to offer integrated bioprocessing capabilities.
