Description

This practical module aims to provide specialised knowledge in the theory, practice and interpretation of the various assays and instrumentation routinely employed in a Biopharmaceutical Quality Control laboratory. The necessary skills and competencies will be acquired through a combination of self-study and the completion of a sequence of laboratory-based practicals and demonstrations.

Learning Outcomes

On completion of this module the learner will/should be able to;

1.

Outline and evaluate the main quality control and the various assays/tests methods routinely employed in the analysis of biopharmaceuticals.

2.

Perform a range of analysis and outline and evaluate the equipment requirements for performance of the various test methods.

3.

Interpret and critically evaluate the data and results obtained from the various practicals and demonstrations.

4.

Take responsibility for and direct the work of other individuals in a GMP- like environment.

5.

Evaluate and apply scientific and technical information to solve/troubleshoot analytical problems and demonstrate research capabilities.

6.

Demonstrate effective communication skills both orally and in writing.

Module Assessment Strategies

As this is a practical-based module attendance at the NIBRT laboratories is a requirement. A certain amount of the assessment work will take place at these locations. The remaining assessment approach for this module will be 100% Continuous Assessment with a range of assessment methods employed including some of the following: short-form assessment, practical/project work.

Repeat Assessments

as per Q manual

Indicative Syllabus

The range of lab-based practicals covered may include some or all of the following assays/instrumentation; Protein Estimation Assays; Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide slab gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and Capillary Electrophoresis (CE), Immunoassays (ELISA), Chromatography Technologies (HPLC; UPLC). Additional laboratory based practicals/demonstrations will be offered as new and emerging technologies/test methods emerge.
