Description
This module covers the practical knowledge and skills required for downstream processing in biopharmaceutical operations. The relevant learning is acquired through the completion of lab-based and pilot-plant based practical sessions that are designed to impart the relevant knowledge and skills required for downstream processing operations.
Learning Outcomes
On completion of this module the learner will/should be able to;
1.
Demonstrate a range of practical skills associated with downstream processing operations
2.
Interpret and evaluate the data and results obtained from various downstream processing practical sessions.
3.
Demonstrate the skills required for upstream bioprocessing operations.
4.
Demonstrate effective communication skills.
Teaching and Learning Strategies
The range of lab-based and pilot-plant based practical sessions may include some or all of the following:
- Filter integrity testing (bubble point, diffusion, water intrusion testing)
- Column packing operations
- Chromatography operations
- Ultrafiltration
- Diafiltration
- Cleanroom Gowning
Module Assessment Strategies
As this is a practical based module, attendance at the NIBRT practical sessions is a requirement. Some of the module assessment will take place during the practical sessions.
The assessment approach for this module is 100% continuous assessment, with a range of assessment methods employed including short-form assessment exams and practical report write-ups.
