Hands-On Single-Use Processing for Biopharmaceuticals course

This course will provide hands-on training in a single-use biomanufacturing process using mammalian cell culture and the latest technologies spanning upstream and downstream operations.

Participants will gain laboratory experience in media and solution preparation (single-use mixing systems), cell culture (single-use bioreactors in both rocker and stirred-tank configurations), cell harvest (single-usecentrifugation and depthfiltration options, and novel technologies such as acousticwave separation), as well as downstream operations such as single-use chromatography, single-use TFF, and bulk filling. In addition to providing extensive hands-on experience with the process, the course will address many of the common concerns when implementing single-use processes (i.e., sterile connections, environmental concerns/carbon footprint, business economics, and validation).

This course provides an introduction to biopharmaceutical processing using single-use technologies. Individuals involved in the evaluation, selection, and implementation of single-use systems are encouraged to attend as well as scientists manufacturing managers, vendors, and educators seeking a broad understanding of biopharmaceutical manufacturing.

This course is not designed for individuals who already possess advanced knowledge of biopharmaceutical processing and single-use technologies.
