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项目正在扩大和改进，为化学工程和生物学专业的学生增加了必要的发酵实验室组成部分。这个设施设在曼哈顿学院。目前正在进行细菌发酵、酵母生产、连续离心、连续细胞破坏、沉淀和色谱等六项实验。最近收购了一个搅拌罐发酵罐和一个气升式发酵罐，为学生提供了最先进的生物技术设备的经验。生物技术咨询委员会由两所大学生物、化学和化学工程系的成员以及公司顾问组成，确保两所大学都能实现培养具有生物学、微生物遗传学、生物化学、生物化学工程和计算机科学等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.
