Chromatography (Hands-on Course)
Bernard Katz Building, UCL Bloomsbury
13 - 15 May 2025
£1,950
Learn the technical, practical and analytical skills to operate protein chromatography systems and to optimise separation parameters. This course provides delegates with an introduction to the basic principles of protein chromatography and the practical experience of operating an AKTA system.
During the course delegates will be able to understand the performance of the AKTA, write and run scripts on the AKTA and be able to run a chromatographic separation according to a standard operating procedure (SOP). They would be able to extract, analyse and interpret data from the AKTA as well as learning to optimise chromatography process parameters for a typical monoclonal antibody (mAb) separation.
Hands-on sessions will be supplemented with introductory lectures and trouble-shooting sessions. Industrial speakers will share their experience of Chromatography technologies and their industrial application.
This course is designed for scientists and engineers who are new to laboratory scale chromatography operations and provides them with the practical skills underpinning industrial downstream process development and scale-up. It is also designed for individuals coming from other industry sectors who need to update their skill set for work in the biotechnology and biopharmaceutical industries.
Who should attend:
Scientists, technical staff, engineers, and individuals with experience within the biotechnology industry wishing to increase their knowledge of downstream operations in a modern bioprocessing plant, through lectures and hands-on training are welcome to attend the course.
