Automated NMR Analysis for Biotech Screening Applications

Webinar Overview

Screening and identifying high-performance microorganisms are key steps in biotechnological research and development. They are pivotal for advancing scientific discovery and eventually commercializing bioprocesses at scale as it allows selecting suitable biological materials, such as enzymes, bacteria, or yeasts that perform the desired task with high selectivity and efficiency. These tasks can range from food chemistry, including yoghurt fermentation, edible oil refinement, carotenoid manufacturing, or human-milk oligosaccharide production to the bio-manufacturing of low-calorie sweeteners.

Join dsm-firmenich for an insightful webinar exploring cutting-edge screening technologies and their applications within biotech and food ingredient development.

Sharina Chander will discuss the design – build – test – learn (DBTL) principle applied to biotech screening and explain how flow-injection NMR is being used in DBTL cycles to select the best performing microorganisms. The analysis of the acquired NMR data can be supported by the Advanced Chemical Profiling software which allows for fully-automated qNMR for metabolite quantification.
