Backgorund Information
Various studies are carried out by using nanobioprocess technology that processes using microorganisms to obtain a product that can serve the different needs of today. In addition, the design and operation of different bioreactors, preparation of bioreactors for production, conversion of industrial wastes into value-added products, using batch, fed-batch, continuous culture production methods, immobilization applications, microbial and enzymatic production techniques and optimization of separation and purification are conducted. Scale up processes and industrial production are also applied at Pilot Plant.
Process Analytical Technologies, PATs are technologies that enable the monitoring and control of production processes. PAT is based on logic of “quality is not controlled in the product, product should be produced in high quality”. Examination of bioprocesses with PAT approach is among the studies carried out in our laboratory.
