Bioseparations Engineering
Multidisciplinary resource for graduate studies and the biotechnology industry Knowledge of the genetic basis of biological functioning continues to grow at an astronomical rate, as do the challenges and opportunities of applying this information to the production of therapeutic compounds, specialty biochemicals, functional food ingredients, environmentally friendly biocatalysts, and new bioproducts from renewable resources. While genetic engineering of living organisms transforms the science...

Predicting a century of biotechnology just beginning, Ladisch (Purdue U.) reviews the techniques that have been developed over the past couple decades to separate biological compounds in the hope that the explanations will apply to bioproducts not yet invented and biological molecules not yet produced on a large scale as well as to those currently being used. When possible, he provides mechanistic analysis of key phenomena at the microscopic scale. Among the topics he discusses are sedimentation, centrifugation, filtration, membrane separations, precipitation, crystallization, extraction, and the principles and scale-up of liquid chromatography. The price of the European original would be $150. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
