Description
This laboratory-based course is designed to introduce the student to the skills required to prepare chemical buffers and cell culture media for use in the biomanufacturing industry. The student will become skilled in the techniques and equipment necessary to prepare high quality buffers and media for use in the manufacturing of protein products. The goal of this course is to manufacture buffers and media following strict aseptic techniques while adhering to current good manufacturing practices (cGMP). Quality control methods will stringently test the buffering capacity, ionic strength, and purity of products.
