The main goal of the Bioprocess Technology working group is to overcome existing knowledge deficits in the bioprocess characterization of single‐use bioreactors. The required methods have been investigated extensively, evaluated for their suitability for certain single‐use bioreactors, and summarized into a basic structure in the so‐called conceptual matrix. Development of standard operating procedures for the methods selected as well as their verification in interlaboratory tests guarantee that in the future a spectrum of unified and validated methods can be used to compare different bioreactor types objectively.
