Publisher's Synopsis
Bioseparation Process Science fills the need for an in–depth text for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, as well as a host of professionals, who needs to learn the techniques of protein purification, large–scale processing and need to learn the techniques of protein purification, large–scale processing and design, and scale–up for the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries. With an emphasis on the practical aspects of the subject, the authors provide a framework for decision–making in the design of bioseparation processes that takes into account the broader economic considerations as well as the systems design, scientific principles, and engineering aspects. This is particularly evident in one of the outstanding chapters in the book: Bioprocess Economics. The text also introduces students to the kinds of decisions they will have to make after the transition from theory to practice. End–of–chapter summaries and problems provide a focus for review and further discussion. Covering more ground in more detail than previous texts, Bioseparation Process Science is a significant addition to the literature. Outstanding features if this sourcebook include: Techniques used by researchers and industrualists–a comprehensive overview in a compact volume Practical information on analytical methods and a focus on problem–solving techniques–students will be armed with keys skills, making them attractive to potential employers Focuses on important production concepts rather than rote, complex mathematics–makes the essential practical concepts in the biotechnology industry easier to grasp for both professionals and students Concise coverage of systems design, scientific principles, and engineering design–can be used by all professionals in the biotechnology industry, whether their background is in engineering or biology.
