Updated event details for The 21st Planova™ Workshop
We are excited to host the upcoming 21st Planova™ Workshop in San Francisco on October 11 and 12, 2018!
This year's theme is achieving successful virus filtration of challenging molecules. Our speakers are preparing presentations to share their experiences in virus filtration of molecules, including ones with challenging molecule properties, process conditions or process development considerations, so be sure to check them out!
