From cells to harvest: upstream processing for all

This 3-day training course will provide an introduction to upstream processing with 1.5 days of hands-on practice and 1.5 days of theory in cell culture and biomanufacturing.

Cost: 2,700 CHF

Learning objectives

• The properties of different cell types and when they are used in biopharmaceutical applications
• What proteins are and how they are made
• How to make cell banks and define seed trains
• Functions of bioreactors, when and why they are used and, in particular, the difference between re-usable and disposable (single-use) bioreactors
• Bioreactors and determine the optimum type for each process
• What the different feeding regimes are: batch, fed-batch, continuous and perfusion
• How to control bioprocesses i.e. PAT
• Different techniques used for analysis of proteins and their properties

Who should attend?

This course is aimed for operators, technicians, specialists in other areas, QA specialists, and managers in the field of bio-manufacturing who are interested to learn more about the upstream processing, to refresh their knowledge in the field, or to facilitate cross-training.
