\n The Key to Independent Expertise <\/h2>\n \n
\n

YMC ChromaCon<\/strong> provides structured training programs and consulting engagements for teams working with the Contichrom\u00ae platform. Every engagement is customized to your team’s experience level, your applications, and where you are in your adoption journey. Training is available on-site at YMC in Zurich or via remote webinar. Alternatively, training can be provided at the customers site (Requires a Contichrom\u00ae system).<\/p>\n

Our training programs and consulting engagements are available to pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies across Europe, as well as educational institutions. Customers outside Europe should contact their local YMC ChromaCon distributor, who may offer training and consulting services under separate arrangements.<\/p>\n

The three-day Continuous Chromatography Workshop at FHNW is available to all, though experience in prep chromatography is recommeded.<\/p>\n

Not sure if you need training yet? Start with a no-charge demo<\/a> to see the system and software first.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n\n

\n Training Programs <\/h3>\n \n

\n Structured, hands-on learning for your team. Training covers the Contichrom\u00ae hardware, ChromIQ\u00ae software, continuous chromatography theory, and specific processes \u2014 assembled from a menu of topics tailored to your needs. Programs range from focused single-day workshops on a specific process or software module to comprehensive multi-day courses that take a team from fundamentals through to independent operation.
\r\n
\r\nDeliverable: A team that can operate the system, design methods, run processes, and evaluate results without external support. Training Certificates are provided. <\/p>\n \n \n <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n <\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n Consulting Engagements <\/h3>\n \n

\n Expert advisory and hands-on support for specific technical challenges. Consulting covers process modeling, method scale-up from the CUBE to PILOT\/TWIN production systems, validation strategy, and advanced process optimization. Engagements are scoped to a defined question or objective and delivered as focused sessions or ongoing advisory.
\r\n
\r\nDeliverable: Answers, strategies, and technical guidance tailored to your specific process and regulatory context.

\n Training Topics <\/h2>\n \n
\n

Every program is assembled from the topics below. You choose what’s relevant \u2014 we build the curriculum around it.<\/p>\n

Hardware \u2014 Contichrom\u00ae CUBE<\/strong><\/h5>\n

System architecture, fluidics, pumps, valves, detectors, and column configuration. Hands-on system startup, shutdown, maintenance routines, and troubleshooting. Overview of the CUBE (up to 100 mL\/min, 100 bar) and how methods scale to the PILOT 300X and TWIN production systems.<\/p>\n

\n
Software \u2014 ChromIQ\u00ae 9 Suite<\/strong><\/h5>\n

The complete software ecosystem: ChromaCraft\u2122 for batch and integrated 2D\/3D batch method design, process wizards for CaptureSMB\u00ae, MCSGP, and N-Rich\u00ae, the Evaluation Center for data analysis and reporting, and the Expert Mode editor for advanced method customisation. Hands-on exercises using the actual software.<\/p>\n

\n
Continuous Chromatography Theory<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Principles of twin-column chromatography, how continuous processes differ from batch, counter-current operation and side-fraction recycling, breakthrough curve dynamics, cyclic steady state, and the role of dynamic process control (AutoPeak\u00ae and AutomAb\u00ae) in ensuring process robustness.<\/p>\n

\n
Processes<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Practical training on specific Contichrom\u00ae process modes, tailored to your application:<\/p>\n
