Best Practices of HCP Clearance in Downstream Processing of mAbs

In this webinar, you will learn:

• What are Host cell proteins?
• Best practices of HCP removal in downstream processing.
• HCP control in intensified processing

Detailed description:

Host cell proteins (HCPs) are process related impurities in a therapeutic monoclonal antibody (mAb) using cell culture technology. This webniar presents biopharmaceutical industry trends for HCP in bioprocessing and the best practices for HCPs clearance in the downstream unit operations. The webinar will discuss on the current technologies for its removal in the downstream unit operations and also for intensified downstream processing of monoclonal antibody.
