Each seminar
is led by a panel of industry experts discussing the latest advances,
critical details, and proven techniques to
successfully implement new technologies in GMP manufacturing facilities.
Case studies and best practices are discussed in-depth. Our experts include
representatives from Amgen, Biogen, GE Healthcare Life Sciences, CRB,
ABEC, LifeTek Solutions, Alfa Laval, Pall Life Sciences, Baxter, Fluor
Corp, DME Alliance, Merck, and many more.
Join us on
24 June for our KEYNOTE
PRESENTATION to be given by Dr. Nigel Darby, General Manager BioTechnologies,
GE Healthcare Life Sciences, to discuss "Trends in Biological
Manufacturing - How will our industry change in the next 10 years?".
PLUS tabletop exhibits, plant tour(s), and networking!
CHOOSE
FROM SIX IN-DEPTH SEMINARS:
- Maintenance
and Operations of Biopharmaceutical Equipment and Facilities
NEW!
The BioPharmaceutical
Industry is focusing more and more on the long-term life of their Equipment
and Facilities. This focus comes from the challenges facing the industry,
which include (1) Increased Plant Throughput Rates, (2) Lower Cost of
Goods Manufactured, and (3) Multiproduct Flexibility. This seminar will
focus on those factors which can most influence the successful management
of the BioProcess Equipment and the Utility Assets within these operating
plants. Operation and Maintenance best practices will be stressed by
reviewing regulatory requirements, actual case studies, and the engineering
concepts to increase long-term asset value. Click

Single-use
Technologies in Bioprocessing
The
BioProcessing Industry has seen an increased interest in and use of
Single-Use Systems. The mixing technologies and instrumentation have
improved with innovations in design and fabrication. This seminar is
a comprehensive introduction of the current single-use bioprocess options
that are available. It will also present factors that influence the
selection, design, specification and qualification of single-use bioprocessing
equipment. Topics include: upstream and downstream equipment, industry
standards, materials of construction with key discussions in economics
and implementation. A roundtable discussion on future directions and
end user concerns will close the session. Click

- Bioprocess
Equipment Design
A comprehensive review of the factors that influence the selection,
design, specification and placement of bioprocessing equipment. Topics
will include: upstream and downstream processing equipment design, cleaning
and sanitization, validation and commissioning and an introduction to
facility design. Regulatory compliance and biocontainment considerations
will be discussed. The sessions are presented by process equipment and
system designers and suppliers who have real life experiences to share
with their audience. Click

- Bioreactor
Design
Bioreactors and fermenters lie at
the heart of processes used to produce both large and small-molecule
therapeutics. These reactors must produce an axenic environment that
is conducive to and optimizes the growth and productivity of microorganisms
ranging from fragile cells to robust bacteria. This seminar provides
a detailed review of the factors that contribute to successful design
and operation of cGMP bioreactors, featuring in-depth lecture and discussion
on bioreactor mixing and mass transfer principals, as well as practical
applications for process development and scale-up. Bioreactor cleaning,
sterilization and equipment design fundamentals will be presented individually
and then brought together in case study and workshop format, illustrating
key concepts. New trends and developments in the application of single-use
technology and disposable bioreactors to upstream bioprocessing will
also be discussed. Click

- Bioprocess
Purification Process Development
This seminar is designed to give the participant a basic understanding
of key issues in designing and implementing a purification process for
the production of a biopharmaceutical material. Scale-up of chromatographic
and filtration operations will be discussed in detail with attention
to validation issues. Process scenarios for recombinant proteins and
antibodies will be used to further the basic concepts. Click

- Aseptic
Fill and Finish for Biopharmaceuticals
This seminar
will discuss the basic aseptic fill and finish theory for biopharmaceuticals.
It will cover typical unit operation for aseptic fill and finish, associated
equipment design, various operational consideration, related facility
and regulatory compliance issues. Key operations such as sterilization,
filling and lyophilization will be discussed, as well as other considerations
related to aseptic filling and finishing operation, such as HVAC design,
process analytical technology. Technology trends will be discussed such
as barrier isolator and restricted access barrier and their impact on
the facility design and daily operation. Click
