Bioreactor Scale-Up

Biology changes
when scale changes.

Canaritech translates laboratory performance into pilot and production operating conditions—defining what must be preserved, tested and engineered at the next scale.

LAB → PILOT → PRODUCTION
The Scale-Up Gap
LAB → PILOT → PRODUCTION

A promising process can change when the vessel gets bigger.

Scale-up is not simply more volume. Mixing, oxygen transfer, shear, heat removal and process control all shift as a system moves from laboratory conditions toward pilot and production.

The objective is not to make the same experiment larger. It is to preserve the critical process behavior while engineering new operating conditions.

PRODUCTION
01 Process behavior Identify what must remain biologically and operationally equivalent as scale changes.
02 Transfer conditions Translate mixing, gas transfer and thermal requirements into engineering conditions that can be controlled.
03 Operating window Define practical ranges for agitation, aeration, feeds, temperature and process response.
04 Pilot evidence Use pilot-scale performance to reduce uncertainty before committing to production conditions.

Canaritech works in the transition. We connect biological understanding with practical bioprocess engineering so scale-up decisions can be tested, controlled and translated into the next stage.

ENGINEERING THE TRANSITION
Scale-Up as a Service
ENGINEERING WORKSTREAM

Scale-up is a sequence of engineering decisions.

Canaritech works across the full scale-up path — from defining what must remain equivalent, to generating pilot evidence and transferring a process into production conditions.

The work is continuous: strategy, pilot execution, validation and transfer stay connected instead of being handed off as separate problems.
01
Define the scale-up basis
Establish critical process behavior, constraints, target scale and the engineering criteria that must survive the transition.
OUTPUT Scale-up strategy
02
Translate critical parameters
Convert mixing, kLa, oxygen transfer, shear and heat-removal requirements into controllable engineering conditions.
OUTPUT Operating targets
03
Design + operate the pilot
Define pilot configuration, instrumentation and operating logic, then execute the scale-up under real process conditions.
OUTPUT Pilot evidence
04
Model + validate
Pair kinetic modeling with experimental validation to challenge assumptions and define a practical operating window.
OUTPUT Validated window
05
Transfer into production
Support technology transfer, production-scale engineering and FDA-oriented regulatory work as the process moves forward.
OUTPUT Production transfer

Hands-on scale-up engineering. The objective is not to deliver a theoretical recommendation and disappear. It is to stay close to the process as evidence is built and engineering decisions become operational conditions.

Who we work with
MOVING BEYOND THE LAB

You have the biology. You need the next scale.

We work best when the science is real, but the path to pilot or production still needs engineering.

PEOPLE BEHIND THE PROCESS

Theory informs the process. Experience moves it.

Canaritech keeps engineering close to execution — from pilot configuration through installation, operation and transfer.
