Millipore Corporation Offers Interactive Online Tangential Flow Filtration Training Course

Introductory course helps operators improve TFF process yield, purity and efficiency

Billerica, Massachusetts
Millipore Corporation, a leading provider of technologies, tools and services for the global life science industry, announces that its Bioprocess Division now offers an interactive, self-paced online training course, Introduction to Tangential Flow Filtration (TFF). Millipore’s Access Knowledge Institute presents the course, which can be found at http://elearning.millipore.com.

The course, which takes approximately 45 minutes to complete, covers TFF basics, demonstrates how specific process parameters affect yield and purity, and provides users with basic troubleshooting tools. Ideal for operators and their supervisors, the course is also designed for engineers, manufacturing engineering support personnel, process development engineers and college students interested in bioprocessing.
The course follows a typical biomanufacturing process through three main areas in which TFF is used: clarification by microfiltration, concentration by ultrafiltration, and purification by diafiltration. Through colorful, clear graphics, users visualize the process and experiment with relationships among parameters.

Explains Susan Connor-Kirshbaum, Millipore’s Global Training Manager, “This innovative design provides an understanding of TFF principles through interactive scenarios that let users manipulate process parameters and immediately experience results.” She adds, “Knowing how to operate a TFF system properly means there will be far fewer costly mistakes. Proper operation reduces costs from deviations or lost product and reduces the time required to fix problems.”

Participants receive a certificate of completion upon finishing the course. Reference material is provided to deepen and extend the learning experience.

According to Edward Graham-Brown, Vice President of Strategic Marketing for Millipore’s Bioprocess Division, “Millipore’s training programs keep pace with the industry’s changing needs. We have found a great demand for this type of self-paced interactive online training course, and we look forward to expanding our online offerings in the future.”
