Stratophase is a biotech services company that is revolutionising the timelines to clinic and commercialisation for biologics. We do this by rapidly optimising biomanufacturing processes using our Ranger technology to dynamically control the bioreactor environment in real time. Our Ranger® service and technology provide an innovative approach to bioreactor culture optimisation based on in-line, continuous assessment of the metabolic activity of the cell culture combined with a well established Probing Control Strategy.

 Ranger uses Adaptive Bioprocess Control to find and maintain optimal conditions that may vary over time during the manufacturing process. To do this we use our patented technology, combined with Stratophase’s extensive application expertise gained from over 300 customer processes and collaborations with industry-leading biopharma innovators, including GSK and Pfizer.

 Ranger's adaptive and dynamic feed on demand capability, based on the metabolic demands of the bioreactor culture, is used to rapidly optimise the bioreactor process with either single or multi-component feed strategies, as demonstrated with our recently announced collaboration with Merck. The adaptive and scale-independent capability of Ranger delivers significant advantages to batch, fed batch and continuous manufacturing strategies, as well as autologous and allogeneic cell therapy processes.
