£2,250 + VAT
This 3-day course explores the common upstream bioprocessing approaches and practices utilised in modern biomanufacturing facilities.
Delivered alongside our expert industry partners, delegates will delve into the core cell culture principles of both adherent and suspension cells, single-use upstream technologies, scale-up strategies, bioreactor design and operation as well as process control and evaluation.
Training will be conducted in our Centre of Excellence facility housing cutting-edge laboratory instruments and benchtop-scale processing equipment, allowing delegates to gain vital hands-on practical exposure to industry-standard biomanufacturing processes and procedures.
Topics covered:
Cell culture expansion to bioreactors
Expression systems and cell requirements
Cell counting methods, validation and variation
Introduction to WAVE and Xcellerex bioreactors
Process control in bioreactors – PID control loops and process automation
Adherent cell cultivation
Process scale-up and technology transfer
Considerations for process optimisation
Who should attend:
Scientists, manufacturing operators, engineers and managers wishing to gain knowledge of conventional upstream bioprocessing operations and their practical application in industry.
