This module focuses on product purification and, through a series of lectures and case studies will enable you to:

• Understand the principles of different methods of process chromatography, including Packed Bed, Monoliths, Expanded Bed.
• Select the appropriate media for, and predict the performance of, chromatography separations upon scale-up.
• Assess the suitability of affinity separation as a product purification operation and gain awareness of advances in rational ligand design for difficult separations.
• Determine appropriate strategies for the maintenance of column and process hygiene.
• Consider how chromatography is changing at industrial scale, and which new technologies will have an impact in the future.
