Biotechnology Professional Development & Advancement:
Tangential Flow Filtration

Seminar is designed for individuals (engineers, scientists, managers, technical personnel and researchers) who require an in-depth review of the principles and their application to processes in the areas of Process Development, Manufacturing and Quality Assurance/ Validation.

The seminar is presented by John Rozembersky (see bio). With his hands-on experience and in-depth knowledge of filtration and purification spanning close to 30 years with Millipore, Filtron, and Pall, John is internationally recognized as the leading authority in TFF in the biopharmaceutical sector from bench-top development to large scale manufacturing.

Lecture

A comprehensive one-day seminar on the applied principles and techniques used for tangential flow filtration applications. Course is designed to help individuals gain a solid understanding of the parameters and factors that affect TFF membrane performance and product recovery for biopharmaceutical applications. The seminar covers topics that will help define and identify current issues related to performance, scale up, optimization, cleaning (CIP), and methods development.

Lecture attendance limited to 30. Tuition: $565 includes hard color copy of lecture notes.

Workshop

This is a 3-day "hands-on" laboratory workshop course. Application trials will be performed using state-of-the-art bench-top systems. The principles and techniques presented in the prerequisite* TFF lecture (above) will be applied in this workshop. Trial objectives will involve performing required initial membrane and element characterization, determining optimum operating conditions that will meet trial objectives, performing process runs to include concentration and diafiltration with complete data acquisition and analysis, and CIP to achieve maximum membrane recovery. Data developed in the trial will be applied to a scale-up system problem and SOP.

Laboratory attendance limited to 12. Reservations are mandatory to assure placement. Tuition: $1,495 includes Excel TFF spreadsheet
