Instrumentation for Training in Bioprocess Technology

该奖项为购买设备提供资金，以提高伍斯特理工学院在细胞培养、发酵、产品纯化和大规模生产技术领域的本科课程。监测和控制pH值和溶解氧，空气提升发酵罐，葡萄糖/蔗糖分析仪，培养孵化器将增加已经存在的发酵过程。色谱监测和控制单元，额外的替代过滤单元和离心机将增加已经存在的蛋白质纯化和下游处理过程。混合罐，Gaulin磨，CEPA离心机和大容量液相色谱柱将补充现有的大型过滤和发酵设备，用于新课程的放大。所有要求的设备也将有利于每个大四本科生所需的研究项目。受资助者正在匹配非联邦来源的奖励。

This award provides funds for the purchase of equipment to enhance the undergraduate curriculum at Worcester Polytechnic Institute in the areas of cell culture, fermentation, product purification and large-scale production technologies. Monitors and controls for pH and dissolved oxygen, air lift fermenters, glucose/sucrose analyzer, and culture incubators will augment the already existing Fermentation course. Chromatography monitor and control units, additional alternative filtration units, and a centrifuge will augment the already existing Protein Purification and Downstream Processing course. Mixing tanks, a Gaulin Mill, a CEPA centrifuge and large volume liquid chromatography columns will complement the large scale filtration and fermentation equipment already on hand for a new course in Scale-Up. All of the requested equipment will also benefit the research projects required of every senior undergraduate. The grantee is matching the award from non-Federal sources.
