  This Course is Aimed at
  Anyone who directly works on the practical side of microbiology and fermentations. The module is best suited to those who have previously had little or no experience of aseptic techniques. The skills gained in this module are normally taught either on-the-job in industry, or on undergraduate microbiology courses. Students who have completed An Introduction to Microbiology will better appreciate some of the content but this is not critical.
  Overview
  A one-day courses introducing the concept and importance of aseptic awareness, a fundamental part of microbiology and fermentation. The course will establish a mindset where well-practiced good aseptic technique is naturally driven by an underlying strong aseptic awareness. Throughout the practicals, students will be advised on what is sterile, what is not and how to keep the barrier, preventing contamination
  Programme Content and Key Areas
  Lecture: Maintaining Culture Purity Aseptic technique: why and how? Sterilisation Biological safety cabinets Movement, contact and awareness Practical: Preparation and sterilisation of media, feeds and equipment Preparation of liquid and solid growth media Methodology and reasons behind autoclaving and filter-sterilisation Examples of contaminated media/cultures Practical: Aseptic awareness and basic microbiology techniques Use of biosafety cabinets and bunsen flames Aseptic technique practice during: Pouring and inoculating agar plates and slopes Shake flask work Multi-tasking and in areas of limited movement Lecture: Spotting contamination Monitoring and dealing with contamination in: Cell banks Flasks and plates Fermenters
  Learning Outcomes
  On completion of the course, participants will be able to: Understand the concept of aseptic awareness and its importance Learn the methods of sterilisation and when to use them. Appreciate the risks, routes and consequences of contamination Gain hands-on practice with basic microbiology skills, using aseptic techniques To book now contact us.
