Asahi Kasei Bioprocess training

Bioprocess Overview course is designed for the individual that is new or has limited bioprocessing experience. The class discusses a very typical generic batch antibody manufacturing process starting with the master cell bank, follows at a high level each of the intermediate unit operations through cell culture expansion into separations/ chromatography, and finally concluding with bulk drug substance fill. The learning objective is to provide a big picture view of bioprocessing and some basic knowledge of the unit operations employed in the manufacture of antibody therapies.

This BioOptimal/Microza Microfiltration Operators course includes a detailed lecture on the use of hollow fiber filters in microfiltration to obtain superior throughput at challenging cell densities. The classroom style lecture highlights perfusion applications. Our lab demonstration focuses on a recirculation loop using a hollow fiber filter connected to a glass bioreactor, and we will use a low shear pump for flow control. This training is conducted by live speakers in real time.
