# Optimize your bioprocess

An optimization workflow helps you *decide* between multiple options.

In practice, an optimization workflow solves practical challenges in microbial process development such as:

* [How do I find the optimal seeding ratio for the initial cryo stock expansion?](broken://pages/HCyA5smADMmJsn8WcnzH)
* Which growth media should I choose?
* [When should I harvest my batch cultivation to get the highest CFU/mL?](broken://pages/wQbdnMNiFDPngy3SPNIS)
