Crossflow Filtration Training | Part 1

Target group:

Technicians and Scientists with, or without, previous knowledge of crossflow filtration.

The aim of this course is to provide you with state-of-the-art knowledge of the use of crossflow filtration in the biopharmaceutical industry.

The course consists of two parts which can be booked separately: Part 1 focusses on the fundamentals of crossflow filtration and optimizing crossflow filtration parameters for concentration and diafiltration.

Theoretical aspects include:

• Crossflow filtration theory
• Membrane characterization | membrane selection
• Factors influencing performance
• Operating conditions
• Cleaning-in-place (CIP)
• Applications in biotechnology

Practical exercises:

• Operational set-up of the systems
• Determination of clean water flux
• Cell retention by microfiltration (model solution)
• Concentration of a protein solution by ultrafiltration
• Removal of low-molecular weight contaminants by diafiltration
• Cleaning
