Introduction to Bioprocessing
(Industry Only)

LOCATION:

Onsite at Cork College of FET, Life Sciences Centre.

CERTIFICATION:

In house Certification.

INTRODUCTION:

This three day course is ideal to upskill or refresh the skills of staff in the Life Sciences Sector. Your staff will gain a theoretical overview of biopharmaceutical production including upstream and downstream processing. They will learn about the components and principles of operation of a range of equipment utilised in upstream and downstream processing and perform a variety of tasks using these equipment items.

COURSE CONTENT:

• Provide an overview of upstream processing including cell culture scale up process, bioreactor design, modes of operation and monitoring/control of the process.
• Provide an overview of downstream bioprocessing (product purification) activities including equipment design and operation/ control requirements associated with process steps such as chromatography and UF/DF (ultrafiltration/diafiltration).
• Describe contamination control methodologies utilised in biopharmaceutical manufacture.
• Interpret a Piping & Instrumentation Drawing (P&ID).
• Conduct calibration checks on an analytical balance and pH meter.
• Perform tasks relating to upstream bioprocessing including operation of a bioreactor.
• Perform tasks relating to downstream bioprocessing including integrity testing and ultrafiltration/diafiltration.
• Perform tasks relating to contamination control such as Steam in Place (SIP) and equipment sanitisation.
