Synopsis
The number of
places on this
course is strictly
limited, so please
book early!
Ion exchange is a commonly used technique in bio-processing
and is a critical step in many downstream processes. This course
is intended to provide an overview of ion exchange from the
basic principles of ion exchange to the selection and development
of an ion exchange step. The course will be delivered by highly
renowned scientists from academia and industry.
Attendees
This course has been designed for scientists, managers and technicians who work in
downstream processing and are interested in learning about the practice of ion exchange and new ion exchange products.
IEX 2012
Attendees at this Bioprocessing course are being offered the opportunity to attend
the first day of the IEX 2012 conference on Wednesday 19 September which includes
bioprocessing sessions. To book this day, please see the registration form overleaf.

Exhibition
An exhibition will run alongside the IEX 2012 training courses, and main conference
during refreshment breaks, for companies and related organisations who may wish
to exhibit.
