Overview

This introductory course provides a foundational understanding of quality control (QC) practices in the biomanufacturing industry. Participants gain hands-on experience with key QC techniques used to ensure product safety, consistency, and regulatory compliance.

Why It’s Essential

Quality control is the cornerstone of reliable, safe, and consistent biomanufacturing. A solid understanding of QC principles and methods is essential to ensure products meet industry standards, regulatory expectations, and patient safety requirements. This course provides participants with a clear overview of QC workflows and practices, bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world application.

Learning Objectives

• Gain an overview of QC microbiology and QC analytics workflows

• Learn common QC microbiology techniques, including total organic carbon (TOC) testing, qPCR, Millipore Sigma OASis filtration, endotoxin testing (Charles River Endosafe), and rapid bioburden testing (Soleil)

• Become familiar with QC analytics techniques, including HPLC

• Understand how QC data informs decision-making in biomanufacturing

• Recognize the applications of QC across different stages of production

Who Should Attend

• Entry-level QC staff and trainees

• Laboratory technicians seeking foundational knowledge of QC processes

• Professionals from production or manufacturing looking to understand QC principles

• Anyone interested in gaining a practical introduction to QC methods in the biomanufacturing industry, as well as in the food, wastewater treatment, precision fermentation, natural health products (NHP), and medical device industries

Participants who successfully complete a theoretical assessment will receive a certificate of completion.
