About the Event

Our 24th Planova Workshop will take place in the beautiful city of Florence

The workshop will include presentations on virus filtration theory and practice, microfiltration for cell culture clarification, industry-based applications, and a preview of our strategic applications. It will be a fantastic opportunity to gain knowledge and learn more about advanced techniques that can be applied to your process.

Eminent users of Planova and BioOptimal™/Microza®, with direct expertise in the use of virus removal filtration, tangential microfiltration, process scale-up, and bioprocess technologies will share their knowledge and experience in both DSP and USP. Authorities will also provide important updates on the latest regulations. Our global bioprocess team will provide an inside look at our new product PLANOVA S20N and services.

We look forward to welcoming you to Florence!”
