- Content
-
Practical work on different unit operations in a pilot plant facility.
The work includes:
- sterilisation, media preparation, fermentation
- centrifugation, homogenisation, precipitation
- filtration, ultrafiltration, preparative chromatography
in a technical scale.
Practical work is supplemented by model-based calculations.
- Previous knowledge expected
-
Master level on bioprocess engineering and equivalent curricula. Advanced knowledge in Bioprocess Engineering and process modelling, microbiology, biochemistry required.
- Objective (expected results of study and acquired competences)
-
After completing the course students have skills in production and purification of recombinant proteins including modelling of such a process. They know about scale-up strategies and they are able to calculate and estimate most relevant parameters for industrial use of the respective unit operation. They know how to establish mass balances of a bioprocess.
