Biotechnology company The Cultivated B has introduced a new AI-driven biosensor system designed to enhance real-time monitoring of cell culture and fermentation processes. The multi-channel biosensors aim to improve bioprocess transparency, allowing engineers to track growth and metabolic activity with high precision.
“The release […] is another crucial step towards our vision of bringing complex biotechnology to everyday life”
The system integrates real-time data analytics with continuous, high-resolution monitoring, eliminating the need for manual sampling or physical probes. This approach reduces contamination risks while ensuring consistent process conditions.
The biosensors are designed to detect specific molecules within a bioreactor, offering a customizable solution that adapts to various bioprocessing requirements. The technology can measure a range of chemicals, including glucose, amino acids, and lactic acid, at concentrations below the picomolar level.
“The release of highly advanced biosensors is another crucial step towards our vision of bringing complex biotechnology to everyday life,” said Hamid Noori, founder and CEO of The Cultivated B.
By incorporating AI-driven analytics, the biosensors provide real-time insights and recommendations for optimizing bioprocess conditions. The system enables adjustments to media formulations and control strategies, improving measurement reliability and optimizing resource usage. This capability is intended to accelerate product development and improve efficiency in industries such as pharmaceuticals, food biotechnology, and alternative protein production.
Expanding bioreactor technology
The Cultivated B has been expanding its bioreactor technology efforts in recent years. Last year, the company signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Biosustainability to enhance the scalability and efficiency of its systems. Additionally, the company obtained an ISO certification, reinforcing its commitment to meeting industry standards.
The newly launched biosensor system is designed to support high-throughput bioprocessing across multiple sectors, including biologics, waste upcycling, and fermentation-based food production.
“Our sensor technology for bioreactors accelerates the learning curve of bioprocessing, ensuring high-quality output and exceptional product quality. I am confident this will empower industries to streamline workflows and enable scalable processes through enhanced automation,” continued Noori.
