* Bioprocess monitoring and control
* Process optimization
* Cleaning and changeover time reduction
* Maintenance practices
* Mistake-proofing and standardization
* Quality procedures and policies

Companies planning a facility expansion or relocation can take advantage of the Biotech Program staff's expert advice for contractor review, new equipment selection and floor layout design. Biotech team members can create computer simulations of the proposed facility to help companies evaluate alternative processing flows, while process development solutions can be tested in the BSF.
