Come learn from our 3-day course! Introduction to Aseptic Processing To be taught at the Ausia Biotech Aseptic Training Center in Hangzhou China March 23-25, 2016 1. Introduction to TPA-IT: China s only sterile university dedicated to training the aseptic workforce Aseptic fill-and-finish manufacturing is the most technically challenging of all pharmaceutical manufacturing processes, requiring people trained to execute to exacting standards in a sterile environment. Complya Asia, PaizaBio and our partner Ausia BioTech ensure an exceptionally trained aseptic manufacturing workforce via TPA-IT, the Trans-Pacific Aseptic Institute of Training. Located on the campus of Ausia Biotech in Hangzhou China, the $8 million dollar sterile university was originally established for Ausia BioTech employees. As TPA-IT, the curriculum has been expanded and is now open to employees of other pharmaceutical companies, contract manufacturing organizations, and government and regulatory entities from around the world. Training of your workforce at this comprehensive, full-scale training center will ensure a staff capable of the highest level of cgmp manufacturing. Training includes structured lecture and hands-on learning experiences in the principles of sterile manufacturing, quality management, and regulatory compliance. Join us in this interactive curriculum, taught in facilities that include qualified clean rooms with fully functional HVAC systems, commercial grade equipment and a lecture hall that accommodates 50 students. The experience is designed to accelerate learning and maximize student retention of information and skills. Core Areas of Training Theory and principles of aseptic processing Aseptic manufacturing operations Aseptic facility design and engineering Quality management systems Regulatory compliance Operator behavior (hands on, in the clean room) Our goal is to provide the highest quality training anywhere in the world to ensure students possess the knowledge and confidence required in the demanding environment of aseptic processing for the manufacture of sterile pharmaceutical products.
