Continuous manufacturing opens up new operation windows with improved product quality in contrast to documented lot deviations in batch or fed-batch operations. A more sophisticated process control strategy is needed to adjust operation parameters and keep product quality constant during long-term operations. In the present study, the applicability of a combination of spectroscopic methods was evaluated to enable Advanced Process Control (APC) in continuous manufacturing by Process Analytical Technology (PAT). In upstream processing (USP) and aqueous two-phase extraction (ATPE), Raman-, Fourier-transformed infrared (FTIR), fluorescence- and ultraviolet/visible- (UV/Vis) spectroscopy have been successfully applied for titer and purity prediction. Raman spectroscopy was the most versatile and robust method in USP, ATPE, and precipitation and is therefore recommended as primary PAT. In later process stages, the combination of UV/Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy was able to overcome difficulties in titer and purity prediction induced by overlapping side component spectra. Based on the developed spectroscopic predictions, dynamic control of unit operations was demonstrated in sophisticated simulation studies. A PAT development workflow for holistic process development was proposed.
