of the various parameters like pH, Temp, DO and Aeration requirement for the cell growth. Calculation of
dissolved Oxygen by using four methods (especially KLa method)
Downstream Processing- Learnt to choose the simplest, cheapest and less time consuming methods for
the purification of the proteins. Also included optimization of the parameter for –Centrifuge Sedimentation,
Velocity, RPM, RCF and g-Value), TFF (Flux value, TMP, Flow Rate, Cassette selection) and Column
Chromatography (Column size, diameter, column packing and unpacking, column storage) at a small scale.
Learnt to check the protein content by SDS PAGE.
Basics of Filtration Techniques - The types of filter that are used for purification and the criteria
involved to choose the filter accordingly to the process and the reasons for its selection. Learnt the basic
principle of Filter integrity and Filter Validation.
Learnt the basics of Sterilization, Types of sterilization, Operation of Autoclave, Operation of DPO and
optimizing the time required for the sterilization by D-value(Log reduction value), Z-value(Time require for
1log reduction) and Fo Value.
