At a glance

  • Train hands-on with twin column equipment for capture and polishing processes for biomolecules.
  • Learn cutting-edge techniques in continuous chromatography.
  • Benefit from leading experts with academic and industrial backgrounds.
  • Expand your network and enjoy an inspiring evening programme.

Aims and benefits

You will deepen your knowledge of continuous chromatography for biomolecules with hands-on lab experience using industry-grade equipment.
By the end of the seminar you will be able to:

  • explain the fundamentals of large-molecule chromatography
  • design, run and optimise multi-column chromatography processes
  • evaluate process performance and scale up
  • apply your knowledge directly through practical lab training

Target audience

This seminar is designed for separation scientists and process development engineers from industry and academia. You already have some experience with single-column chromatography, you want to broaden your understanding of chromatographic processes and learn new and more efficient ways to separate and polish biomolecules. If you’re looking to enhance your expertise and implement continuous chromatography in real-world settings, this seminar is for you.

“The continuous chromatography seminar had an excellent balance of theoretical content and laboratory based exercises. It was great to explore the significant gains observed in productivity, buffer consumption and resin utilization over batch chromatography.”
PhD. Theresa Ahern, Eli Lilly (IE)
“Great to learn all the potential and applications of the different ways of using continuous chromatography and learn that this is not just a smart way of working in research, but that it can be implemented in large scale production.”
Mercedes Ferreras PhD, Novo Nordisk (DK)

Structure and programme contents

This three-day seminar combines theory, hands-on laboratory work and expert-guided analysis. You will work directly with Contichrom CUBE twin-column separation and purification systems. Each day blends lectures with practical lab sessions, ensuring a rich and immersive learning experience.

This workshop does not cover 4-zone SMB, chiral and small molecule separations.

Day 1: Production of Biotherapeutics
Day 2: Hands-on Chromatography
Day 3: Workshop and Wrap-up
