Cell Culture Database - Batch Information

You work in biopharma. Maybe you're a fermentation guru... or a cell culture hot shot. Whatever the case... This is your process.
We muggles don't have the luxury of waving our wands and having protein fold themselves mid-air. There's usually a container where the process happens. processes happen in a unit
A time-window (starttime to endtime) is when processes happen.

Operators execute process instructions; these procedures is how the process happens.
The execution of process instruction results in an output. The output of the process step is the product and constitutes the what.
Lastly, the process (step) is given a name describing who the batch is.
It stands to reason that the who, what, how, when, where of a batch is characterized by:
  • batchid
  • product
  • procedure
  • starttime - endtime
  • unit
and fully describe batch information for cell cultures and fermentation.
