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.

Course ID: TRTFF03
Course Content
  • Rapid development of a high performance TFF process
  • Understanding process scale-up options
  • Assurance of optimum TFF process parameters
  • Process issues
  • Meeting your product purity and quality targets
Learning Goals
  • Identify and define TFF operating parameters
  • Develop methodology for selection of critical TFF parameters
  • Develop methodology for operation of TFF processes including concentration and diafiltration
  • Operate a screening and optimization protocol
  • Apply the scale-up methodology for TFF processes.
Who should attend?
  • This course is designed for Research & Development scientists and engineers who are responsible for developing and implementing production-scale TFF processes. Participants must have completed the “Introduction to tangential flow filtration principles and operation” course or have equivalent experience.
What will you receive?
