Bioprocessing using Membrane Separations (MEM1)
 Who should attend?
| R&D, process development and manufacturing personnel designing, executing or advising on membrane unit operations in the biopharmaceutical industry |
| Scientists and engineers working in primary recovery and clarification stages through to final purification steps |
| Anyone interested in primary clarification of mammalian, bacterial, yeast or baculovirus/insect cells |
Course description
This three-day course offers an introduction to membrane separation techniques used in bioprocessing. The emphasis is on cross flow filtration (CFF) techniques using open and/or screen channel devices providing a general understanding of optimization, cleaning, validation, and scale-up.
In the numerous practical sessions you will learn the basic methods, including membrane preparation, air diffusion and integrity testing. You will also conduct experiments on optimizing clarification and concentration/diafiltration steps.
After the course, you will be able to:
| Choose the optimum membrane format or technique based on target molecule and process objective |
| Define process conditions critical to the success of membrane applications |
| Evaluate experimental results for optimization and scale-up calculations |
