- increase confidence and develop skills
- improve familiarity with equipment
- reduce errors
Flexible training options
Our Fast Trak courses are offered in a variety of formats to meet your unique learning needs.
- Instructor-led, in person courses combine hands-on training on the latest bioprocessing equipment with classroom teaching for key theoretical knowledge
- Instructor-led, virtual courses allow you to learn and interact directly with our instructors from the comfort of your computer
- eLearnings on a wide range of topics enable you to learn on your own schedule
- Custom training courses are tailored to your unique requirements and can be held at a Fast Trak center, at your site, or online
Gain specialist knowledge in bioprocessing
Our Fast Trak courses cover various topics from upstream to downstream. These include cell culture, bioreactor scale‑up, and chromatography, as well as optimization and scale‑up for both pilot and manufacturing scales. You’ll learn:
- techniques, like column packing
- technologies, such as bioreactor cultivation
- process design from scale-up to high-throughput process development
- programming for UNICORN system control
Working scientists make the best trainers
When you’re learning bioprocess techniques – and especially process development – you need a trainer who uses those skills every day. All our trainers are industry trained and passionate about sharing the knowledge they’ve gained over many years of experience.
What people say about Fast Trak™ training
“The infrastructure in the training was very intuitive and insightful. I am going to take a lot of these techniques that I learned back with me to the plant, and work with our technical and PD groups. The key takeaway from COL1 is how to properly pack a column, how to use the instrumentation and equipment that’s available to us, and how to implement those back at our facility.” – Manufacturing supervisor, global healthcare company
What people say about Fast Trak™ training
“I hoped to learn column packing and qualification techniques, and how to apply them hands on using Cytiva equipment but offline to prevent manufacturing site interruptions. The experience with the trainers and the facilities was fantastic. We got to see a lot of different pieces, from old to brand new. The instructors were incredibly knowledgeable, answering almost every single question.” – Process equipment engineer, healthcare company
What people say about Fast Trak™ training
“I learned how you can use mathematical calculations, formula and diagrams to scale up to a manufacturing column, or to scale down a PD column with the same resin type with the same size. The equipment is state of the art and makes our job a lot easier. It reduces human error, which is fantastic, as you need that reproducibility every time to be the same.” – Downstream purification scientist, global healthcare company
What people say about Fast Trak™ training
“Our customers understand the importance of multi-modal chromatography. They enjoy learning this technique, how to make use of different characteristics of your protein, and separate the protein based on two or three different aspects. They learn new tools, such as high throughout process development, and how they can use these techniques to develop a process faster and better.” – Sushma Nayak Teichert, global product manager, Cytiva
What people say about Fast Trak™ training
“Customers face challenges in scaleup of upstream processes. By attending an upstream course at a Fast Trak™ site, students can understand the Cytiva equipment, and how to apply upstream best practices for process control. We teach all the peripherals needed to conduct upstream process development, including metabolism rate calculations and how relate to successful culture maintenance.” – Erik Wiktelius, application specialist, Cytiva
Strengthen your skills for future success
The power of training is immeasurable, especially when you consider the cost of error in biomanufacturing. Even a short time in training can have a huge impact on your facility’s productivity down the line.
