Parallel implementation of a number of bio-experiments to identify optimal process parameters in a simultaneous minimization of a number of bio-experiments, comprises: e.g. providing a number of disposable bioreactors (102); setting a first value (104) and a second value; determining parameter vectors (106); assigning (110) each specific parameter vector from reduced parameter vector to each group of disposable bioreactors; providing the parameter vector component values in a control experiment unit; filling disposable bioreactors with raw materials; and determining a result value. Parallel implementation of a number of bio-experiments to identify optimal process parameters in a simultaneous minimization of a number of bio-experiments, comprises: providing a number of disposable bioreactors (102); setting a first value (104) and a second value for each one of parameters for performing the respective bio-experiments in disposable bioreactors; determining parameter vectors (106) whose components are respectively the predetermined first values and second values such that combinations of each of the first values and second values are respectively provided in a thus formed vectors of parameters, and the set of parameter vectors is a parameter vector group; reducing the number of parameter vectors (108) of the parameter vector set based on a comparison of each specific parameter vector with existing specific parameter vectors for each of which a measurement result of a system based on the specific parameter vector equivalent to bio-experiments exists, such that a reduced parameter vector group is formed from the total parameter vectors; assigning (110) each specific parameter vector from the reduced parameter vector to each group of disposable bioreactors; providing the parameter vector component values in a control experiment unit; filling of disposable bioreactors with raw materials for the bio-experiments; controlling by the experiment control unit which is specific for each disposable bioreactor values of the parameter vectors by detectors on each disposable bioreactor and actuators for the values of the parameter vectors; measuring the disposable bioreactor-specific measurement results of the bio-experiments; and determining a result value of the components of a specific parameter vector based on the measured bioreactor specific measurement results and the corresponding specific parameter vector values, and the existing specific parameter vectors and associated measurement results, such that a minimum number of experiments are needed for the determination of optimal specific process parameters.
