Add to Calendar ▼2012-06-27 14:15:002012-06-27 15:15:00Europe/LondonSUT Applications in Up – and Downstream Bioprocessing SELECTBIOenquiries@selectbiosciences.com

Comparative studies of different SU Bioreactors against traditional vessels carried out at pilot scale will be presented for the production of viruses for vaccines and gene therapy. For the same applications novel designs, based on scale down tools, for disposable membranes for purification will be described.
