Optimizing the physics of *scale-up*

AMSP provides rigorous scientific consulting to de-risk upstream tech transfer, characterize bioreactor geometries, and maximize metabolic yield for complex biopharma and stem cell processes.

We bridge the gap between laboratory benchtop success and commercial-scale production. Our models address fluid dynamics and mass transfer constraints before you commit to hardware runs.

Our Capabilities

Upstream development from bench to pilot scale

We deploy precise engineering calculations and systematic experimental designs to optimize every phase of your cell culture process.

Bioprocess Development

Scale-Up & Tech Transfer

Troubleshooting & Training

Optimize bioreactor strategy, media formulation, and feeding regimens to maximize specific productivity and product quality.

De-risk vessel transition through fluid dynamics modeling, mass transfer analysis, and vessel geometry characterization.

Resolve sudden yield drop-offs, optimize experimental designs, and train operations teams on advanced bioreactor systems.

Proven Outcomes

De-risking transfer through physics

Stem Cell Scale-Up
Biopharma Tech Transfer

Yield Doubled in 50L Vessel

Zero-Loss CDMO Onboarding

We resolved shear-stress limitations for a clinical-stage therapy client by modeling impeller geometry and optimizing agitation rates, preventing cell damage during scale transition.

Using precise mass transfer coefficient matching, we transferred a complex monoclonal antibody process from laboratory benchtop to a European CDMO facility without yield drop.
