Objective:
To develop a real-time monitoring tool for viral particles in vaccine manufacturing using Raman spectroscopy.
Key Findings:
- The Raman spectroscopy-based tool allows for real-time monitoring of viral particles in less than 30 seconds.
- The tool can be integrated into continuous manufacturing processes, improving quality control.
- Early detection of defects can save time and money while enhancing product yield and quality.
Interpretation:
The development of this tool represents a significant advancement in vaccine manufacturing, enabling rapid quality control and process adjustments.
Limitations:
- Challenges remain in improving the limit of detection during early production stages.
- Complex media may affect the accuracy of the Raman spectroscopy measurements.
Conclusion:
The integration of portable Raman systems into commercial manufacturing lines could revolutionize the monitoring of viral particles in vaccine production.

About the Author(s)
James Strachan
Over the course of my Biomedical Sciences degree it dawned on me that my goal of becoming a scientist didn’t quite mesh with my lack of affinity for lab work. Thinking on my decision to pursue biology rather than English at age 15 – despite an aptitude for the latter – I realized that science writing was a way to combine what I loved with what I was good at. From there I set out to gather as much freelancing experience as I could, spending 2 years developing scientific content for International Innovation, before completing an MSc in Science Communication. After gaining invaluable experience in supporting the communications efforts of CERN and IN-PART, I joined Texere – where I am focused on producing consistently engaging, cutting-edge and innovative content for our specialist audiences around the world.
