UPCOMING PROGRAMS: March 18-22, 2019; September 9-13, 2019
The robust implementation of animal cell culture technology requires optimization of a number of variables. Successful operations need to achieve high productivities with low operating costs and meet the requisite productivity and quality specifications. A clear understanding of all aspects of this culture technology assures that upstream scientists and technicians are capable and confident in their handling of these processes. Hands-on training with single-use and stainless equipment expands your bioprocessing/biomanufacturing knowledge.
