NHC: Introduction to downstream bioprocessing

Delivered in partnership with Cytiva, this course introduces delegates to chromatography and downstream processes and the principles of purification and membrane separations. Our unique training facility houses state-of-the-art equipment that provides delegates with the opportunity to gain hands-on practical training in complex bioprocessing procedures, including the Cytiva AKTA platform and UNICORN software.

Learning outcomes:

• Develop an understanding of chromatography and gain hands on experience by use of AKTA Pure systems and Unicorn software.
• Learn the fundamentals of crossflow and normal flow filtration and apply these in the operation of an example process.
• Gain an overview of the downstream process and common quality testing techniques.

Who should attend:

• Scientists new to downstream processing and industrial chromatography
• Scientists and process engineers who want to review the basics of biomolecule purification
• Scientists and engineers interested in deepening their knowledge about design, optimization, and troubleshooting of chromatographic processes.
