    5.  Centrifugation In Action
    2m 6s
    Now that you've learned what a centrifuge is, we should see what one looks like. Dr. Barone is on-site at the Pfizer Pilot facility in Andover, MA. There he talks with Scientist Mark Kivimaki about a continuous flow disc-stack centrifuge. FREE ACCESS

    7.  Introduction To Filtration
    5m 52s
    In the following video, Dr. Barone discusses filtration in more depth. He will teach you about the various filtration methods, including microfiltration, nanofiltration, dead-end filtration, tangential-flow filtration, diafiltration, and surface filtration. FREE ACCESS

    8.  Design Of A Filtration Unit Operation
    3m 11s
    In the following video, Dr. Barone describes filtration equations in more detail. Designing a filtration unit operation mostly depends on two parameters: the permeate flux and the rejection coefficient. FREE ACCESS

    9.  Depth Filtration In Action
    1m 49s
    We just covered quite a bit about filtration, so let's go see what different types of filtration units look in action. Dr. Barone returns to the Pfizer Pilot facility to continue his discussion with Mark Kivimaki. They discuss depth filtration and how it fits into a manufacturing process. FREE ACCESS
