Pharmaceutical

At Kraken Sense, we redefine the landscape of pharmaceutical manufacturing by prioritizing early detection and real-time monitoring. Our innovative KRAKEN™ device offers unparalleled capabilities, seamlessly integrating data, enabling swift response, and adhering to Quality by Design (QbD) principles.

As bioprocessing involves cultivating microbes such as E. coli to produce pharmaceutical products, these operations run an inherent risk of contamination. Since the manufacturing environment is designed to be conducive to microbial growth, with favourable temperature, dissolved oxygen, and pH conditions, fermentations are highly susceptible to bacterial contamination.

Often, contamination isn’t detected until after the medium has entered the bioreactor, requiring the whole batch to be discarded and the bioreactor to be disinfected. However, if the source of contamination is not identified and treated immediately, contamination may spread throughout the facility, causing substantial loss of product.

Our autonomous pathogen detection systems can prevent these issues from arising by providing real-time contamination results. The KRAKEN™ can be installed at multiple points in the bioprocessing system to continuously monitor for pathogens and immediately recognize potential sources of contamination. With live updates, the contaminated media can be discarded before it even enters the bioreactor, preserving the integrity of the batch and reducing the possibility of widespread contamination.
