Biopharma PMI Calculator

The Biopharma Process Mass Intensity (PMI) metric provides a standard method for collecting mass data on the amount of water, raw material, and consumables used to produce 1 kg of biologic drug substance (API). This metric uses common parameters to define biologics manufacturing, which allows for industry-wide bench-marking, increased transparency during process development, and a method to objectively compare processes.
