Introduction to Fill Finish Operations
Overview
This blended course of 2 mornings online theory and 2 days NIBRT onsite practicals introduces the typical fill finish operations carried out in a biopharmaceutical manufacturing facility.
This course delivers online theory covering aseptic processing, fill finish process overview including lyophilisation, barrier systems, decontamination methods, aseptic process simulations as well as QC in fill finish.
The hands-on practical days in NIBRT compliment this theory with practical sessions covering an overview of a filling line, aseptic gowning, filter integrity testing, aseptic process simulations and filling line troubleshooting scenarios.
The full course of online theory and practicals can be taken or there is an option to take the online lectures only.
Key topics covered
- An overview of the key fill finish unit operations of biopharmaceutical manufacture.
- Fill finish activities including aseptic processing, environmental monitoring, gowning, filter integrity testing and troubleshooting.
