Chromatography Operations - a Downstream Processing Workshop is an intensive workshop designed to equip biopharmaceutical professionals with essential skills for optimizing column chromatography processes. The workshop covers the fundamentals of column chromatography, including the theory, instrumentation, and practical applications specific to biopharmaceutical production. Participants will learn about various column chromatography techniques such as ion exchange, size exclusion, and affinity chromatography. The workshop also includes training onColumn packing, qualification, and ensuring regulatory compliance. Through a mix of theoretical knowledge and hands-on practice, attendees will be better prepared to implement and optimize column chromatography processes in biopharmaceutical applications.
