Which production modes can Acatian model?

Acatian supports batch, fed-batch, perfusion, continuous, and hybrid process architectures, with mode-specific balances, harvest logic, schedules, and economic assumptions.

Does Acatian replace experimental validation?

No. Acatian distinguishes screening assumptions from measured and validated models. Scale-up, safety-critical, regulated, or investment decisions require an agreed validation plan and customer-owned evidence.

Biotech process modelling software

Model complete biomanufacturing processes in one system.

Acatian connects process flowsheets, component balances, reactions, ODE/PDE dynamics, operating modes, equipment duties, physical limits, scheduling, uncertainty, and economics without separating the model from its evidence.
