Design of Experiments for Bioprocess Optimisation
Learn how experimental design techniques can be used to rapidly understand and optimise bioprocess performance.
11 - 13 March 2013
This module shows laboratory scientists and engineers how experimental design techniques can be used to rapidly understand and optimise bioprocess performance. It provides managers with insights on how experimental design and small scale experimental models can underpin Quality by Design (QbD) approaches. Training is focused on the hands on use of DoE software rather than underlying statistics. Bioprocess case studies, supported by a series of introductory and expert lectures will enable you to:
• Generate appropriate experimental designs within fixed research budgets and timescales.
• Ensure analytical methods can be validated and provide reliable data for process evaluation.
• Rapidly screen and optimise different fermentation media and operating conditions.
• Obtain the highest yield of active product throughout your downstream process sequence.
• Understand the relationship between DoE and QbD
Who should attend?
The course is designed for all those involved in bioprocess development and optimisation including:
- Bioprocess applications specialists
- Hands-on bioprocess scientists and engineers
- Research managers and consultants
