Level 1 of 2 courses provided in partnership with Applikon.

Our short practical course in stirred tank fermentation and primary separation is designed to enable scientists to rapidly acquire the skills they need to operate and harvest an autoclavable bioreactor. Our emphasis is on cell culture-based applications, but provides a valuable introduction for anyone who would like to gain a general practical overview of bioreactor technology. The strong practical component and free follow-up technical support ensures delivery of an effective, relevant training package.

Topics covered on this 2-day course include:

• Why use a bioreactor?
• Adapting cells to suspension culture
• Media and reagent selection
• Cleaning a bioreactor
• Setting up a bioreactor
• Probe calibration
• Process control
• Inoculation
• Sampling
• On-line measurement of biomass
• SCADA
• Harvesting
• Primary product recovery
• Decontamination

All participants receive comprehensive training notes, including application guides describing basic cell culture starting conditions, along with free follow-up technical support. A Certificate of Attendance is issued to all participants completing the course.
