Editorial Reviews

Describes the approaches to membrane technology used by the individual contributors to improve the performance and productivity of their bioprocesses. The 13 chapters discuss such applications as cell culture harvesting, product purification, and process validation. The second edition reflects refinements in technology and new membrane applications, and places more emphasis on pharmaceutical applications. Annotation c.
