Optimization and Scale-Up of Tangential
Flow Filtration Applications
Two-Day Course
Course Description
This two-day course examines the in-depth theory of tangential flow filtration (TFF) as well as the latest techniques to develop an efficient and effective TFF process. During a practical laboratory session, you will determine optimal operating conditions using a model feed stream in a laboratory system to perform concentration and cleaning steps. Then, through a real-life case study, you will scale-up and size a TFF process with specific product purity objectives.
