Course programme

Teaching is in small classes, with an emphasis on interactive problem solving and case studies.

Each day will cover the following topics:

Day 1
  • Power consumption in gassed and ungassed bioreactors
  • Scale-up: effects of scale and scale-up strategies
  • Oxygen mass transfer in bioreactors
  • Case study: design of a bioreactor
Day 2
  • Tutorial: scale-up from shake flasks to stirred bioreactors
  • Bioreactor mixing
  • Bioreactor scale-down: strategies and devices
  • The ambr™ advanced micro bioreactor system automate high-throughput screening and process development studies for both cell and microbial culture processes
Day 3
  • Tutorial: high-throughput process development
  • Case study: predictive scale-up based on microscale experiments
  • Tutorial: microfluidic bioreactors - microfluidics fundamentals, bioreactor design and application
  • Rapid fermentation process development: industrial perspective
