Method for open-loop or closed-loop control of a process, in particular a downstream bioprocess, based on the projection of an unknown concentration of at least one substance in a sample using spectroscopy, in particular UV/vis spectroscopy, comprising the steps: Detect spectrums of a plurality of concentration samples, wherein at least two concentration samples have differing concentrations of the substance; generate several quantitative models based on the spectrums of the concentration samples, wherein the models each have a mapping of at least one spectral measurand of the spectrums to concentrations in concentration ranges, wherein the concentration ranges of two models are not identical; detect at least one sample spectrum of the sample; map the sample spectrum to at least one quantitative model of the generated quantitative models; apply the at least one quantitative model that was mapped to the sample spectrum against the sample spectrum to determine a projected value for the unknown concentration; and apply open-loop and/or closed-loop control of the process for at least one parameter based on the projected value for the undetermined concentration.
