This course provides all background information needed to fully understand the purification process of downstream processing. The theory section explains the basis of various aspects that are essential to purification in DSP.

The practical part takes place in a real production environment. Various techniques are performed either by the participants themselves, or demonstrated by an experienced operator.

The course consists of 2 modules which can also be followed separately:

Module 1: Introduction to Upstream Processing (1 day). For more information click here

Module 2: Introduction to Downstream Processing (1 day).

Objectives

After the training sessions, the participants will have knowledge of:

  • the different process steps that are important for the purification of (bio)pharmaceutical products

  • basic principles of various purification techniques for use in downstream processing, including chromatography, ultrafiltration, diafiltration and centrifugation

  • various virus elimination and inactivation techniques

The course participants were all full of praise for the course content and our trainer’s expertise and teaching style. They would certainly recommend the course to others. A comment from one participant, who, incidentally, gave it a 10 out of 10: "I liked the course very much. Only feedback that I have is few slides were overlapped or repeated between two trainers, I would prefer to go over those slides only once".
