ZHAW Workshop 2024

Corning 2024 Cell Culture Upscaling Workshop in collaboration with ZHAW is your opportunity to: 

  • Deeply explore different Corning bioprocess platforms for upscaling cell culture from R&D to production.
  • Gain hands-on experience on the Corning bioprocess vessels. 
  • Learn best practices and tips when manipulating Corning’s cell culture vessels.
  • Meet our Field Application Scientist team to exchange technical and scientific insights on your project and processes.
  • Learn how to scale-up, scale-out and to reduce contamination risk by integrating a closed system approach.
  • Meet your peers from academic, pharma, and biotech.
  • Get a Corning HYPERFlask® vessel sample to test in your lab.  

Join us for a dynamic full-day workshop: hands-on experience on different bioprocess platforms, discussion, and networking.
