Overview
This Workshop deals with understanding the basic concepts behind the operation of a laboratory-scale fermentors, scale-up capabilities and overall processing equipment and control systems. Discussions of fermentation, cell culture and genetic engineering technologies, including re-usable and disposable systems, are covered as well as discussion on Downstream Processing.
Description
This Workshop will provide an insight and overview into the fundamentals of Bioreactors and Fermentation Technology for both experienced individuals and those with a rudimentary understanding of the processes. The program will provide Product and Process learning experiences through lectures and hands-on laboratory exercises with emphasis on control systems and overall design of traditional unit operations. The Workshop will provide the end-user a better understanding of the biologic process of Fermentation and Cell Culture and operating parameters within the process. Attention is directed to the latest product technologies.
RATIONALE
Attendees will learn the latest developments in Bioreactor and Fermentation products and applications. Practical lab exercises and illustrations will teach the participants the ‘How-to' apply these technologies on their projects and process operations.
TARGET AUDIENCE
Research and Development Personnel, Process Development Engineers and Scientists, Pilot-Plant Operations, Protein Purification Staff.
PREREQUISITES
Designed for the experienced and new to biopharmaceutical processes.
Learning Objective
At the completion of this workshop the participant will be able to:
Identify basic requirements and standard measurements needed for process optimization in fermentation /cell culturing.
Describe examples of Biotechnology Produced Products
Consider concepts of designing small-scale experiments that reflect large scale processes for improvement and optimization.
Identify applications / optimize the scale-up from R&D to production.
Understand the latest designs in re-usable and disposables technologies.
KEY TOPICS
Main lecture topics:
Fermentation, Cell Culture and Genetic Engineering basic concepts.
Fermentor and Bioreactor control systems overview including measurement and scalability concepts.
Operate equipment and learn of developments in re-usable and disposable fermentation technologies.
