What it covers

The course walks through implementing and operating single-use systems in a GMP environment — a GMP update on single-use technologies, sensors and automation, and pre- and post-use integrity testing — with hands-on sessions at Sartorius's own single-use equipment, including a virtual-reality session on its systems.

Who should attend

Manufacturing science, process engineering, validation and quality professionals specifying, qualifying or troubleshooting single-use systems in biopharmaceutical production, and anyone building the GMP documentation that single-use adoption now requires.
