Course Descriptor
This 3.5 day course guides trainees through the Critical Quality Attributes of biologics (ICH Q6B) as well as core analytical platforms routinely employed in a QC testing environment in order to measure them. Using a combination of lecture sessions online followed by hands-on practical training, the course will cover methods such as electrophoretic separations (capillary electrophoresis, slab gels), HPLC/UPLC methods (peptide mapping, SEC, etc), and immuonassays (ELISA).

Learning outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course you will be able to:
- Describe the critical quality attributes of biopharmaceuticals
- Outline and evaluate the main quality control assays/tests methods routinely employed in the analysis of biopharmaceuticals.
- Outline and evaluate the equipment requirements for performance of the various test methods.
