Message from the PREP 2015 Organizing Committee
We are delighted to proudly introduce the PREP 2015 Preliminary Scientific Program. The program includes
four state-of-the-art Training Workshops with new lecturers and updated coverage, an Oral Program with 74
oral papers, and two Poster Sessions with about 50 papers already accepted and many more likely to come
during the next three months. The 74 oral papers were selected from more than 110 oral abstracts, based on
ratings by the Scientific Committee reflecting quality and impact as well as the need to provide a balanced
coverage of critical topics. Unfortunately, because of space constraints, it was not possible to include many very
deserving submissions in the oral program. Thus, many outstanding papers originally submitted for oral will be
presented in the Poster Program. As a result, we expect the Poster Program to be truly excellent. All oral
presenters are given the opportunity to also showcase their work in the Poster Session, creating a vibrant,
interesting, and up-to-date showcase of the very latest scientific advances in prep/process chromatography. All
posters presented will be entered in the Best Poster Award Competition and winners will be recognized at the
end of the Wednesday morning sessions. We encourage everyone to join the PREP 2015 Poster Program.
th
th
Deadlines for poster abstract submissions are June 15 for inclusion in the final program and July 14
for last minute posters.

EDUCATIONAL TRAINING WORKSHOP PROGRAM
 Must pre-register to attend workshops; open to meeting and non-meeting attendees 
WORKSHOP 1 - Preparative Chromatography for Biomolecule Purification
9:00am - 12:30pm
Focus: Biomolecule chromatography, stationary phases, binding capacity and selectivity, mass transfer,
modeling, design for capture and step elution.
This workshop will focus on the theory and practice of biomolecule chromatography. Since mass
transfer and the structure of the stationary phase influence deeply chromatographic performance, the
main emphasis is on describing adsorption/desorption kinetics in single and multicomponent systems
and determining the relationship between stationary phase properties and process performance. The
latest advances in stationary phase developments will be reviewed along with methods for their
experimental characterization. Design and optimization strategies for capture and high-resolution
applications will be discussed.
Topics: Adsorption equilibrium and transport in single and multicomponent systems; Stationary phases
for small and large biomolecules; Design and optimization for capture and high-resolution steps.

SMB, examples and industrial applications.
This workshop will focus on development of method for the preparative purification of small molecules
for the pharmaceutical industry. After an introduction of the theory, optimization and practice of prep
HPLC, SMB and SFC for small molecule separations, the instructors will present practical approaches to
the development of preparative separation through a series of examples. The attendees will learn
valuable information and techniques to apply in the laboratory and at manufacturing scale to increase
throughput and performance.
Topics: Prep HPLC batch - Theory, optimization and practice; SMB - Principle and technology; SMB Examples and applications; SFC - Theory, equipment and examples.

WORKSHOP 3 - Continuous Chromatography for Biomolecule Purification
3:30pm - 6:30pm
Focus: Focus on continuous chromatography for biomolecules, isotherms for bio-molecules, SMB basic
principles, difference between SMB for small molecules and SMB for biomolecules, challenges, practical
examples.
Chromatographic processes are essential for the downstream purification of bio-molecules. During the
last 10 years, a tremendous increase in the upstream expression levels, especially for monoclonal
antibodies requires a significant shift in the downstream approach. To overcome "bottlenecks", the
implementation of Multi-Column Continuous Chromatography (Bio-MCC) became of interest. Therefore,
the workshop will introduce the audience to the fundamentals on Bio-MCC and provide guidelines for the
process and equipment design after reviewing the downstream chromatographic processes and the
Simulated Moving Bed (SMB) technology. The workshop will present applications and current
developments. Although, the SMB technology has a proven record to bring synthetic pharmaceuticals
faster to the market and to purify non-pharmaceutical bio-molecules at a large industrial scale; barriers
still remain to implement the technology into the bio-pharmaceutical industry. These barriers will be
identified and ways how to eliminate them. In particular, eliminating barriers related to column and
equipment hardware, packing material, solvent systems, CIP of the systems, bio-molecule
characteristics and regulatory constrains to allow continuous chromatographic processes to become part
of the processing platform in the bio-pharmaceutical industry. This workshop is a complement to the
basics of prep chromatography presented in the morning.
Topics: Simulated Moving Bed and Multicolumn Continuous Chromatography technology for
biomolecules, fundamentals and design criteria, challenges and opportunities, regulatory constraints
Lecturers:
