Filtration in Downstream Processing

Three-day course | On demand

Two trainees in RPF lab learning how to use filtration systems

Overview

This course provides comprehensive theoretical and practical training on the major filtration methods used in downstream processing, including depth filtration, normal flow filtration, and tangential flow filtration (for both concentration and diafiltration).

Participants will learn the principles, set-up, and process development strategies for each technique, from research-scale studies through to large-scale manufacturing.

The course also introduces Quality by Design, process validation, bioprocess engineering, process development, and considerations for technology transfer to GMP facilities.

Course details

Length: 3 days
Location: ��¼� Kensington campus
Fees: $3,000 per participant

Course objectives

Give participants a combination of theory and practical, hands-on experience in biologics filtration.

Learning outcomes

Upon successful completion of the course, participants will:

Have a fundamental understanding of the different types of filtration and their application in downstream processing with consideration of process parameters and product quality.
Have a sound understanding of depth filtration.
Have a sound understanding of Tangential Flow Filtration
Gain hands-on experience in process development strategies for depth filtration, including filter choice and sizing
Gain hands-on experience in operating tangential flow filtration systems, including set-up, operation, cleaning-in-place, and shutdown.
Gain hands-on experience in Tangential Flow Filtration process development (concentration and diafiltration mode)
Have a fundamental understanding of Quality by design and process validation, Bioprocess Engineering and Process Development concepts.
Have a fundamental understanding of tech transfer from bench research to large-scale GMP manufacturing facilities.

Participants will have the option to receive a Certificate of Attendance (not assessed) or a Certificate of Completion (assessed).
