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 Engineering through every transition.
Process behavior first Preserve what matters biologically.
One operating workflow Testing, equipment and transfer stay connected.

The Scale-Up Gap

A promising process can change when the vessel gets bigger.

Mixing, oxygen transfer, shear, heat removal and control all shift between laboratory, pilot and production conditions.

Scale-up is not simply more volume. The operating environment changes around the biology.

The objective is to preserve the critical process behavior while engineering the conditions required at the next scale.

Scale-Up Decision Path

Preserve biology. Engineer the conditions.

Canaritech works in the transition. Biological understanding and practical bioprocess engineering stay connected as the next scale is tested.

Scale-Up as a Service

Scale-up is a sequence of engineering decisions.

From defining what must remain equivalent to pilot evidence, validation and production transfer.

One continuous workstream: strategy, pilot execution, validation and transfer stay connected.
01 Define the scale-up basis Critical behavior, constraints, target scale and engineering criteria. Output Scale-up strategy
02 Translate critical parameters Mixing, kLa, oxygen transfer, shear and heat-removal targets. Output Operating targets
03 Design + operate the pilot Configuration, instrumentation, operating logic and execution. Output Pilot evidence
04 Model + validate Kinetic modeling paired with experimental validation. Output Validated window
05 Transfer into production Technology transfer, production engineering and FDA-oriented work. Output Production transfer

Hands-on scale-up engineering. The work stays close to the process as evidence becomes operating conditions.

Strategy → Pilot → Validation → Transfer

Who we work with

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.
