A Fermentation Laboratory for Biochemical Engineering and Biotechnology

曼哈顿学院和圣文森特山学院的跨学科生物技术课程正在扩大和改进，为化学工程和生物专业的学生增加了必要的发酵实验室部分。这个设施位于曼哈顿学院。目前正在进行细菌发酵、酵母生产、连续离心法、连续细胞破碎法、沉淀法和层析法等六项实验。最近收购了一个搅拌式发酵罐和一个气升式发酵罐，为学生提供了生物技术最先进设备的经验。生物技术咨询委员会由这两个机构的生物、化学和化学工程系成员以及公司顾问组成，确保两个机构都能实现培养在生物学、微生物遗传学、生物化学、生化工程和计算机科学方面具有跨学科专业知识的科学家和工程师的目标。

The interdisciplinary biotechnology programs at Manhattan College and at the College of Mount Saint Vincent are being expanded and improved at both institutions by the addition of a required fermentation laboratory component for students majoring in chemical engineering and biology. This facility is housed at Manhattan College. Six experiments are being developed in bacterial fermentation, yeast production, continuous centrifugation, continuous cell disruption, precipitation and chromatography. The recent acquisition of a stirred-tank fermentor and an airlift fermentor is providing students with experience in state-of- the-art equipment in biotechnology. The Biotechnology Advisory Council, composed of members of the Biology, Chemistry and Chemical Engineering Departments from both institutions plus corporate consultants, assures that the goal of developing scientists and engineers with interdisciplinary expertise in biology, microbial genetics, biochemistry, biochemical engineering and computer science will be realized at both institutions.
