Lehrinhalt

Course director is Prof. Alois Jungbauer from Department of Biotechnology. He is an expert in downstream processing of biopharmaceuticals and process chromatography.

Course duration is one week with a preparation time and a follow up. Lecture, practical experiments, evaluation of experiments and presentation of results are the core of the programme. The scope of the course is to provide insight in the application of chromatographic theory with special emphasis on mass transfer and dispersion. The theory will cover the fundamentals, the sorption equilibria, modes of operation, types of chromatographic media, dynamics of chromatography, effects of dispersion and extra column effects. The experimental part will comprise pulse response experiments, dynamic binding capacity, shallow bed experiments, and linear gradient elutions. The experiments will carried out with typical conventional porous media exhibiting different transport mechanisms. Participants will be also trained in the pitfalls of peak fitting and evaluation of chromatographic data. Detailed course notes will be provided. At the end of the course a detailed protocol has to be worked out.
Inhaltliche Voraussetzungen (erwartete Kenntnisse)

The participants from biomanufacturing industry or supply industry must have at least bachelor’s degree in biology, biochemistry, biochemical engineering or chemical engineering. Experience in process chromatography in industry is useful, but not mandatory. Participants from academia must have at least a master’s degree in in biology, biochemistry, biochemical engineering or chemical engineering.
