B3 - Single-use Process Systems

Who should attend: Technical staff with limited experience with single-use systems and consumables.

This course is focused on single-use technologies in downstream processing. Through lectures with following practical sessions you will learn how multiple systems work together to form a single-use process solution.

Theoretical aspects and practical exercises:

• Bag assemblies: bag types and material, design options and handling (bag unpacking & insertion into tanks)
• Mixing technology and efficiency: magnetically coupled vs. levitated impeller
• Sensor technology (types, location, calibration, accuracy)
• Process automation and safety features, hands-on session with:
  • Automated pH regulation
  • Automated sterile filtration
• Integrity testing of filters and bag leakage testing in single use systems
• Aseptic connections and disconnections of tubing
• Aseptic transfer of product across cleanroom barriers
