The Future of Chromatography

Master Class Webinar Recordings

Chromatography is a universal technique within the downstream processing of biopharmaceuticals. Its versatility is linked to the ability to separate species based on various properties such as charge, hydrophobicity or specific interactions (e.g. between antibody and antigen) based on the ligand used. But that is only half the story, the matrix on which the ligand is immobilised also plays an important role.

Delve into the world of chromatography with our Master Class webinar recordings, designed to encompass the topics most impacting chromatography in bioprocessing.

  • Bioprocessing Chromatography 101

    In the first module, we cover:
    • The basics of chromatography
    • Challenges and limitations of existing chromatography media
    • What does the future of chromatography look like?
    • Next-generation downstream chromatography technologies
  • Bioprocessing Method Development

    In the second module, we cover:
    • The basics of conducting a trial, including the importance of design of experiment and key factors to note when looking at data trends.
    • Two example case studies focused on developing experience in real-world application.
    • Factors influencing chromatographic performance.
    • Next-generation downstream chromatography technologies
  • Problematic HCP in Bioprocessing

    In the third module, we cover:
    • The basics of bioprocess simplification and intensification
    • Process strategy vs process reality
    • Typical issues with problematic HCP and its real-world solutions
    • Next-generation downstream chromatography technologies
  • Viral Clearance in Bioprocessing

    In the fourth module, we cover:
    • A comprehensive overview of viral clearance and its best practices
    • Comparison between membrane chromatography and traditional AEX columns
    • A walk-through of real-world scenarios dealing with viral clearance
    • Next-generation downstream chromatography technologies
  • Next Generation Purification Processes in Bioprocessing

    In the fifth module, we cover:
    • A real-world case study summarising and expanding upon content from the previous four modules
    • How to leverage new technologies to deliver the best service and performance to collaborators
    • What does the future of chromatography look like?
    • Next-generation downstream chromatography technologies
