Spectroscopic insights into multi-phase protein crystallization in complex lysate using Raman spectroscopy and a particle-free bypass.

Protein crystallization as opposed to well-established chromatography processes has the benefits to reduce production costs while reaching a comparable high purity. However, monitoring crystallization processes remains a challenge as the produced crystals may interfere with analytical measurements. Especially for capturing proteins from complex feedstock containing various impurities, establishing reliable process analytical technology (PAT) to monitor protein crystallization processes can be complicated. In heterogeneous mixtures, important product characteristics can be found by multivariate analysis and chemometrics, thus contributing to the development of a thorough process understanding. In this project, an analytical set-up is established combining offline analytics, on-line ultraviolet visible light (UV/Vis) spectroscopy, and in-line Raman spectroscopy to monitor a stirred-batch crystallization process with multiple phases and species being present. As an example process, the enzyme
