Description
The recovery, purification and formulation of biological products from complex sources such as fermentation or cell broths represents the major challenge to the provision of safe and effective materials e.g. for therapeutic use. The course emphasises a physical understanding of the unit operations important to bioprocessing, sufficient for the design of efficient steps that can be combined to produce efficient bioprocesses.
Upon completion of the course, a student should be able to: Learn the principles of design, selection and operation of unit operations for the processing of biological products, Use realistic design equations to describe quantitatively many of the critical post-bioreactor steps including filtration, centrifugation, cell disruption, affinity chromatography, liquid-liquid extraction, and precipitation, Understand how and when to use scale-up and scale-down procedures, including ultra-scale-down methods
