MEB 315
Downstream Bioseparations Engineering Lab

This laboratory course provides hands-on experience with many of the techniques and principles taught in the complimentary lecture course, listed in this proposal. A student cannot take ALS 422 without taking this lecture course at the same time, or at a prior time. The experiments are designed to teach the students a broad understanding of these key issues in downstream bio-separation operations including chromatography and tangential flow and depth filtration. Following the course the students will gain a thorough understanding of unit operations downstream of bioreactor.

MEB 311, 312, MEB 313, MEng program students only

1. An understanding of the successful, interdisciplinary approach to bioprocessing and bioseparations, involving both biological sciences and engineering
2. An understanding of a broad range of analytical methods and the ability to determine assay attributes.
3. An understanding of the many unit operations employed in bioseparations, including first-hand laboratory experience with the most common ones
