Large-scale column packing (COL1)

About course

This 3-day course focuses on optimizing large-scale column packing and handling methods as well as testing and maintenance of chromatography resins in large-scale columns.

You will address factors influencing separation performance and the relationship to reproducibility, stability, and economy in an industrial manufacturing setting. Students will also pack and test large-scale columns, with different design features and dimensions, using several types of chromatography resins.

- Hands-on practice for preparing and maintaining large-scale chromatography columns

- Column packing-lectures and exercises

- Column testing and troubleshooting

- Detailed column packing procedures as part of course material

- Column qualification and resin lifetime

 

An understanding of basic chromatography, optimization and scale-up for both pilot and production

scales is required for this course. Prior to attending this course, refresh your knowledge on chromatography principles with these online courses:

- Get started: UNICORN™ software for chromatography

- Get confident: UNICORN™ method editing for chromatography

- Introduction to preparative protein chromatography
