This training will be highly valuable for:
- Laboratory managers
- Quality control managers
- Analytical scientists
- Senior laboratory personnel
- QA Units
- Qualified Persons (QPs)
It is designed for professionals from biopharmaceutical companies, ATMP developers, and manufacturers. Additionally, the training is relevant for employees of contract laboratories involved in method development, control testing, and quality assurance.
This online training is designed to address challenges such as mitigating risks of contamination, degradation and supply chain disruption. It provides industry professionals with the knowledge and skills needed to ensure compliance and optimise their processes for handling biological raw materials and active pharmaceutical ingredients.
Background
Raw materials, excipients and other products used in the manufacture of biologics must be well understood in terms of their role in the manufacturing process. Particularly in a GMP regulated environment, these raw materials, components and excipients require thorough control for consistent quality.
Therefore, all critical quality attributes should be known and appropriate risk mitigation and control strategies should be established. Since there is currently less written guidance on risk-based management of biological raw materials, European Pharmaceutical Enterprises, EBE, has prepared a concept paper entitled “Management and Control of Raw Materials Used in the Manufacture of Biological Medicinal Products.”
But other approaches can also be helpful - a look at Annex 1 for products that need to be sterile or have a low bioburden claim. Or the QbD approaches for consistent quality of products.

To participate in an on demand training course or webinar, you do not need any software. The recordings are made available via a streaming server. In general, the recording is provided in MP4 format, which any PC (Microsoft Windows, Apple IOS) or tablet can easily Display.
Timing and Duration:
When you register for the on demand Training course or webinar you can decide at what date you want to follow the training course online. For a 1-day training course you will have 2 days in which the stream is available (for 2-day training course 3 days and for a 3-day training course 4 days). Within in this timeframe you can start & stop the stream according to your Needs.
In time before the scheduled date (your desired date) you will receive an e-mail from us with a link for direct participation as well as your log-in data.
Please be aware: The recording does not include the Q & A sessions.
Training Course Documentation and Certificate:
The presentation will be made available as PDF-files via download during the online training course. After the successful completion of the online training, you are able to download the certificate of attendance.
