Membrane Separations in Biotechnology, Second Edition,
Purchasing Options
Summary
This text details the relationship between membrane technology and bioprocesses, discussing applications. This second edition refines and optimizes key features of the first edition - and features new illustrative case studies. The book examines advantages and disadvantages of using standard and new membrane technologies; analyzes a wide range of applications, including cell culture harvesting and product and process validation techniques; and more.
