Continuous vs. Batch Bioprocessing

Is the future for bioprocessing in continuous or batch processing? The answer is yes. Actually yes, it depends. The notion of continuous bioprocessing is not new, but it has not evolved as the dominant standard mode of operation. Therefore, why is it that we wish to revisit this mode of bioprocessing as we look to the future? The answer lies in where we want to be to address future needs and innovative technology that enables us to get there.
