Hands-on experience just as important as theory
Merck offers technical training in the field of chromatography at Mannheim University of Applied Sciences led by Professor Christian Frech. The training includes proper handling of chromatography columns.
Every chromatography step must be performed using the optimum gel for correct yield and product purity. At present, great effort is being focused on establishing effective screening methods to make the process faster and more economical.
The demand for this type of further training has continually risen in the past few years. In addition to instruction in theoretical knowledge, the hands-on component of the courses is becoming increasingly important.
Special training units, which go into considerable more detail than basic courses, are offered in the field of biochromatography. The number of participants is limited, ensuring optimum interaction and discussion. The courses combine practical elements with theoretical lectures, and the involvement of technical experts from industry ensures that the training is lively and practice-oriented.
