Working with Single-Use Bioreactors
COMING SOON!
A practical introduction to the key operator tasks involved in working with single-use bioreactors (SUBs) in modern biopharmaceutical manufacturing. The module explores the structure and function of SUBs, including their disposable bags, sensors, and control systems. Learners are guided through inspection, installation, inflation, aseptic connections, monitoring, and safe shutdown procedures. Interactive activities emphasize correct technique, contamination control, and decision-making to prepare operators for real-world applications.
Duration: 30 Mins
Grade: Premium Performance
Description
