    Description

    Learning Objectives:

    • Explain the role of filtration in protein purification methods
    • Describe the role of ultrafiltration / diafiltration (UF/DF) in downstream processing
    • Describe the difference between Normal Flow Filtration (NFF) and Tangential Flow Filtration (TFF)
    • List the advantages of TFF over NFF
    • Explain the terms molecular weight cut off and transmembrane pressure
    • Identify important components of a UF/DF skid and their functions
    • List and explain the critical process parameters involved in a UF/DF operation
    • Describe the in-process checks and quality tests that are carried out during a UF/DF operation
    • Describe how a UF/DF skid is cleaned
    • Describe the safety requirements associated with UF/DF
    • List some common problems encountered when operating UF/DF

    Learner Benefits:

    • Gain in-depth knowledge of the role of ultrafiltration and diafiltration in protein purification, including the differences and advantages of normal flow and tangential flow filtration.
    • Enhance your technical vocabulary and understanding of key terminology such as molecular weight cut-off, transmembrane pressure, retentate, and permeate.
